Brembo has developed a new brake caliper for 2027 MotoGP use. Each unit is roughly 80g lighter, for a total weight saving of about 160g across the two front calipers, while keeping the same hydraulic ratio and pistons to preserve the familiar braking feel. It has already been supplied to all teams and tested at Misano.

Don't laugh at just 80 grams. The unsprung weight on the front directly ties into how the initial braking bite and corner entry feel unified. And they kept the hydraulic ratio and piston the same, so the feel doesn't change — that's the scary part about Brembo. Same information at your fingertips, just lighter. Riders on the ground will notice for sure.

If it's already been tested at Misano, it might start seeing action in the remaining summer races soon.

Can a rider actually feel the difference from 80g lighter calipers?

The response right at the point of grabbing the lever and the instant of transition make a real difference at race speed.

Cutting weight without changing the feel is the real craftsmanship, and that's where Brembo never wavers.

Shaving 80g while keeping piston sizes and hydraulic ratio the same means they must be cutting material in some seriously precise places.

AP Racing's chasing similar weight cuts too - this whole segment's been a constant war of attrition between manufacturers.

80g per side times two is 160g off the front - even outside unsprung mass, you'd probably feel that lightness in the controls.
