Titanium is a very poor conductor of heat, and reduces the heat transfer by approximately 90%
The standard aluminum brake pistons are light but very heat conductive which means the thermal energy from the brake pad transfers easily to the brake fluid.
The castellated contact edge promotes airflow into the piston cavity and reduces the contact surface with the pad and thus further decreases heat transfer to the brake fluid.
We designed using advanced engineering simulations (FEA) to achieve the same weight than their aluminum counterparts while maintaining superior structural strength.
As opposed to stainless steel pistons, our titanium alloy pieces weigh the same as the original aluminum pistons; and they will never corrode and damage the seals causing the caliper to leak.

DOT 4
Having an extremely high boiling point and lower viscosity than required, it meets and greatly exceeds regulatory standards. Also suitable for vehicles with ABS.
Vapour Lock formation
This sort of habit leaves room for the Vapour Lock, the formation of vapour bubbles due to boiling of the brake fluid that replace the normal fluid and are compressed, thereby sending the brake pedal to its fill stoke (spongy pedal). The origin is incident in the porosity of the tubes that make up the braking circuit, which in time draw moisture into the fluid, drastically reducing the boiling point. The result is a reduced braking efficiency.
Brembo Premium Brake Fluid
Brembo Premium brake fluids have a higher boiling point that exceeds the standard, thus offering superior resistance to the Vapour Lock and ensuring braking efficiency even at low temperatures. With high anti-corrosion properties and resistance to oxidation, Brembo brake fluid also allows for long-term unaltered chemical/physical characteristics of the fluid in operating circuit; therefore, preserving its integrity.
