Alpha Ceramic Rotor

The ultra high performance brembo carbon ceramic material ccm brake system.

Alpha ceramic rotor. However there are some disadvantages to metallic brake pads. More from alpha alpha ceramic rotor rs. Alpha currently offers rotors in 140mm 160mm 180mm and 203mm sizes with prices ranging from 102 to 120 a piece. First my road bike is set with 160 mm discs.

By the way i really love the juintech brakes they are very powerful. The 390 mm carbon ceramic discs at the front are coupled to 6 piston calipers with a 143 cm2 pad while the 360 mm carbon ceramic discs on the rear are coupled to 4 piston calipers with a 77 cm2 pad. As far as price goes metallic brake pads tend to fall somewhere between organic and ceramic pads. The alpha carbon brake package is the perfect mix of lightweight components yet decreases the required stopping distance vs.

They tend to be noisier than ceramic or organic brake pads meaning a louder ride as well as more stressful for the brake system adding more strain and wear on the brake rotors. Alpha now has what they say is the lightest ceramic disc brake rotor available. The lightest ceramic rotor brake for bikes in the world. The brake system is completed with brembo ccm discs that ensure a weight reduction of 50 compared to cast iron discs.

The irony is that in carbon ceramic discs the braking is on the ceramic the carbon is only really there to keep the ceramic together these discs seem to be relying on the carbon for braking and can t make the matrix material survive at all let alone as the actual braking surface. The stock brakes making it a great option for use on both the drag strip and the street. The carbon ceramic brake rotors in this package weigh almost 50 less than equivalent cast iron units. To satisfy everyone who truly wants the best in terms of brake performance an optional braking system is available.

From what we can tell by the limited info on alpha s website the rotors are made of a composite from both carbon fibre and ceramic polymer. The rotors have a thickness of just 1 9mm which is. Carbon ceramic for those who want the best this may have been enough but the engineers and designers at alfa romeo decided to push the limit. I use juintech hydro mechanical brakes and they recommend 160 mm for max efficiency and i ride in the alps so i need efficiency.

For now i just use the disc that came in the juintech box about 120 g each.
