Brembo making mountain bike brakes? Yes, you read that correctly. The same company trusted to stop MotoGP bikes travelling at frankly ridiculous speeds has decided to turn its attention to mountain biking. And rather than simply putting a Brembo logo on an existing design, they've gone all in.
The Brembo Racing GR-PRO Front and Rear Disc Brake Set is the brand's first braking system developed specifically for mountain biking, bringing decades of motorsport engineering to the trails. We're talking serious stopping power, clever heat management and enough adjustment to keep even the fussiest riders happy. The GR-PRO is built for demanding mountain biking, delivering powerful and predictable braking on steep technical descents. Its advanced heat management keeps performance consistent when the trail gets rough, while the adjustable lever feel lets you dial everything in exactly how you like it. Brembo has spent decades perfecting the art of stopping things very quickly. Turns out that's quite useful on a mountain bike too.
Key Features
Brembo Motorsport Heritage – Developed using engineering knowledge from MotoGP and Formula 1. Because apparently making some of the world's fastest machines stop wasn't challenging enough.
Complete Front & Rear Brake Set – High-performance hydraulic disc brakes designed specifically for demanding mountain bike riding
Four-Piston Calipers – Each caliper features four 18mm pistons, delivering powerful, controlled braking when you need it most
Advanced Heat Management – Specially developed insulated pistons help reduce heat transfer into the caliper and brake fluid, keeping performance consistent on long descents
Large Master Cylinder – Designed to move generous volumes of brake fluid, helping maintain a consistent lever feel from the top of the trail to the bottom
30mm Lever Reach Adjustment – Fine-tune your lever position to suit your hands and preferred riding setup
40-Click Reach Adjustment – A tactile adjustment wheel offers precise positioning. Yes, forty clicks. Brembo clearly doesn't believe in doing things by halves.
Seven-Position Bite Point Adjustment – Dial in exactly where the brakes engage using a 3mm Allen key
Adjustable Lever Ratio – Change the relationship between lever movement and braking response, choosing between a sharper initial bite or a smoother, more progressive feel
Two-Piece Aluminium Calipers – Robust construction designed to handle the demands of aggressive trail, enduro and gravity riding
Thermally Insulated Pistons – Aluminium pistons with fibre-polymer insulating material help prevent excessive heat reaching the hydraulic system
Specially Developed Brake Pads – Brembo tested 30 different compounds alongside the Specialized Gravity Team before settling on the supplied semi-metallic formulation
2.3mm Rotor Design – Compatible with Brembo's thicker rotor design, developed to help manage heat during demanding braking
200mm & 220mm Rotor Options – Rotor sizes available to suit different riding preferences and braking requirements
Two Sets Of Brake Pads Included – One set to get you riding and another ready for when you've inevitably had too much fun
Consistent Braking Performance – Engineered to maintain predictable braking response throughout long, demanding descents
Premium Racing-Inspired Engineering – A purpose-built MTB braking system designed with the same attention to detail Brembo brings to motorsport
Let's face it, nobody buys brakes because they enjoy slowing down. You buy them because stopping confidently means you can ride faster, push harder and spend less time wondering whether that corner is approaching a little too quickly.
The Brembo Racing GR-PRO is for riders who appreciate proper engineering and want their brakes to feel exactly how they like them. Powerful, adjustable and built to perform when the trail gets rough, they're a serious upgrade for anyone who believes that when it comes to braking, good enough isn't really good enough.
