Reports say Brembo will introduce carbon-ceramic Hyction discs into the motorcycle racing market. The company is also said to be eyeing eventual expansion to production superbikes.
Brakes are the unsung hero behind real speed. How deep you can push into a corner comes down entirely to stopping power. If Brembo's carbon ceramic makes it into racing and eventually trickles down to production superbikes, that's a big win. Braking that lets you attack — that's the stuff that actually matters.

Carbon-ceramic has fade resistance on a whole different level — should really pay off in racing.
Apparently the heat resistance is high too, with less fade under repeated braking — hoping someone knowledgeable can fill in more detail.
Launching through the race market first is the classic playbook — if it goes well, scale effects could bring prices down eventually.
Scared to think how much a single carbon-ceramic disc would even cost.
They mention it's on the roadmap for production superbikes, but given the price it sounds like a long way off.
Given Brembo's track record with carbon rotors in F1, this should be technically well within reach.
If Brembo brings carbon-ceramic in for real, it could rewrite what we think of as normal braking performance.
Carbon-ceramic Hyction discs are already standard in cars, but this is a first for the motorcycle racing market.
