NEW Wave® ROTORS, US Patent 6,386,340.
Galfer’s Wave® rotors were first introduced to the Motorcycle Industry for Trial bikes and then Snowmobile machines, soon to follow were Sport Bikes and ATV’s as well as Off Road applications. All Galfer Wave® rotors are laser cut and made of a unique high carbon 420 stainless steel material that has been pre-heat treated and parallel double disc grounded to assure perfect flatness and the most efficient contact surface between pad and rotor.Galfer’s Wave® rotors
-
Manufacturing Comments:
- Laser cut (not stamped) to assure no stress to the material
- Made of a unique high carbon content steel (420ss) for higher friction
- Pre-heat treated so that the rotor is less likely to warp
- Double, parallel disc grinded and diamond finished for perfect flatness
Benefits
- The brake system stays cooler and in contact with the rotor surface. This provides better brake power and lever feel.
- Their exclusive, unusual design gives a distinct look to your machine. Observers will notice that you have modified your application of rotors.
- Universal right and left side fitments holes are dispersed in a uniform pattern instead of fan-like pattern, for added cooling features
- Both front bolt-on and full-floating applications and rear bolt-on rotors are available for hundreds of applications.
- Full floating rotors stay in touch with the brake pad’s surface much longer than non-floating, conventional rotors and allow the rotor to follow the path of the caliper, which reduces caliper flex. This innovation provides better brake feel and power
- However, with each different riding application and part number there are also some additional benefits.
Added Features
- The wave rotors are designed to work excellent with all brake pad compositions for added cooling benefits. Magazine testing used wave rotors in combination with Galfer HH pads for optimum performance.
- Although the Wave Rotors were initially designed for weight savings, this will vary by application and may not apply. We are unable to give stock v. wave weight savings for particular models.
- Sport Bikes, Super Motard & Other Racing: The added amount of trailing edges gives the racer better brake response at first touch of the brake lever. The Sport Bike application rotors by Galfer are race-ready units that perform excellent on the street. Many top race teams in national and local super-bike races currently use Galfer’s rotors. When you are at the track, stop and ask any Galfer sponsored team what they think about these rotors. You’ll be amazed. It’s likely that you’ll meet a factory representative as well.
- The Dirt Bike and ATV applications offer self-cleaning action, a lighter rotor and greater cooling. Wave rotors are also great for keeping mud off the surface friction plate, allowing for the brake pads durability to be extended in muddy conditions. These work great with Galfer HH pads for racing applications.
We have wave rotors available for many bikes, old and new. If you do not see your application, please email us at ride@advworkshop.com for a price quote and availability! |
