Galfer, recognized as a leader in braking technology and a benchmark brand in the world of international off-road competition, was chosen by the Borgo Panigale factory as a technical partner for this exciting project. This confirms Galfer’s long tradition and experience in the off-road sector, as well as its consolidated position as a leader in high-level braking systems, synonymous with performance, reliability, and commitment to quality and safety.
Galfer’s Disc Wave® brake discs, developed specifically for the Ducati Desmo 450 MX, stand out for their lightweight and high-performance design, ensuring precise and powerful braking that meets Ducati’s high standards of performance and safety.
Alessandro Lupino, an eight-time Italian champion, praised Galfer discs as the appropriate technical partner for aiming for victory from the first tests. His performance in Mantova demonstrated the reliability and effectiveness of Disc Wave® braking, as well as the high performance and technical validity of the new Desmo 450 MX, marking a milestone in Ducati’s official entry into the world of Motocross.
Statements from Alessandro Lupino:
“I present to you the new Galfer Disc Wave® brake disc, specifically designed for our Ducati Desmo 450 MX. We have developed it together, and I am truly satisfied with this product. When you brake, it gives me a lot of condifence; the harder you press the brake lever, the more braking power you can find, and I am very impressed with this.”
