Brembo has introduced new front brake calipers that will be used in the MotoGP world championship in the 2025 season, giving riders and teams more options to improve their brake performance. As the exclusive brake supplier to the eleven teams in MotoGP, Brembo designed these calipers with the latest technology to adapt to the increasing stresses caused by developments in aerodynamics and ride-height devices, the latter of which makes braking system performance more difficult.

In its latest innovation, Brembo is giving MotoGP teams the choice between continuing to use the existing 'GP4' caliper model or switching to the latest version designed specifically for the 2025 season. Brembo stated that this caliper represents a "huge leap in braking technology," although the decision Switching to a new model remains up to the specific needs and preferences of each racer.

The new brake calipers include a number of important changes that are expected to improve braking efficiency and stability, even in the most critical conditions. One of the main improvements to the GP4 model is the use of cooling fins introduced in 2020. These fins function to increase thermal efficiency, help keep brake temperatures stable, and ensure that the entire braking system remains in optimal condition during the race. In addition, the hydraulic design of the calipers is also optimized, providing a quicker and more accurate response to the brake lever and eliminating the 'sponge' effect or soft brake feeling that can reduce a rider's control.

Some of the other changes seen on the 2025 caliper models include improvements to a larger “mounting distance”, wider piston area, better thermal resistance and optimized contact pressure settings. With larger caliper dimensions, the new calipers are able to withstand high temperatures, keeping braking performance constant in a variety of situations, even the most extreme. Brembo also claims that a wider braking area, combined with more precise contact pressure settings, can improve braking efficiency, allowing racers to control their motorcycles with more precision.

In addition to braking efficiency, Brembo has also improved the cooling capabilities of these new calipers. With a larger surface, this caliper is able to dissipate heat more quickly. This reduces brake pad wear and keeps brake performance stable over time. The design of the distance between the caliper wheel and the foot lock is also strengthened to withstand high braking torque, providing better stability and increasing resistance to strong braking forces.

Another feature added to this caliper is the position of the bleeder or valve to release air, which is designed to make it easier for mechanics to carry out maintenance. More strategic bleeder placement allows mechanics to more easily remove air from the brake hydraulic system, making the maintenance process faster and more efficient.

Apart from the calipers, the choice of carbon brake disc sizes permitted for MotoGP still varies between 320 mm, 340 mm and 355 mm. However, for safety reasons, MotoGP regulations stipulate that at certain circuits such as Motegi, Spielberg and Buriram, which are famous for their hard braking zones, racers are required to use discs of at least 340 mm or 355 mm in dry racing conditions. This aims to provide maximum braking power and maintain stability and safety when racers brake on tracks that require extra brake power.

With all the changes and innovations presented in this new caliper, Brembo continues to show its commitment to providing the best technology to support the performance and safety of MotoGP racers. It is hoped that this new caliper will be an important factor influencing the strategy and performance of the teams in facing the challenges of the 2025 MotoGP season.
