Brake like a PRO: Galfer Technology That Makes the Difference

The secret behind Galfer athletes’ triumphs lies in the quality and innovation that define the company’s products. The Disc Shark® rotors and Pro G1554T pads represent the pinnacle of cycling technology, designed to tackle the toughest challenges in Downhill, Enduro, and Cross-Country racing.

Disc Shark® rotors, with their unique patented design, offer superior thermal dissipation, reducing the risk of overheating during long and technical descents. This not only enhances braking performance but also ensures greater system durability, a crucial factor for athletes in the most intense races. The brake track design also ensures continuous disc cleaning, optimizing braking under all conditions, whether on dry or muddy terrain.

Pro G1554T pads, fully compatible with Disc Shark®, add an extra layer of reliability thanks to their high-performance compound, engineered to maintain powerful, consistent braking and withstand high temperatures over time. The combination of these two elements gives athletes precise control, essential for navigating tight turns, jumps, and technical sections with confidence.

Thanks to this cutting-edge technology, Galfer not only helps its athletes achieve exceptional performance but also sets new standards in mountain bike braking. Professionals find a winning combination in Disc Shark® rotors and Pro G1554T pads, offering impeccable control and superior durability even in the most demanding competitions, where every detail can make the difference. At the same time, enthusiasts benefit from the same technological innovation, enhancing safety, reliability, and riding enjoyment on their outings, bringing competitive-level performance to everyday challenges. A tangible demonstration of how innovation and competition can go hand in hand, improving the riding experience at every level.
