From a market perspective, this is a decisive turning point. A storied European house like Brembo approaching the Chinese camp, once seen as the imitator, of its own accord.

CEO Domenicali's warning is likely a frank expression of alarm over that tectonic shift.

Some KTM models are built by CFMoto too - it's a scale you can't ignore anymore.

They say they don't copy, but the design still relies on European input in places, right?

The fact Brembo's willing to partner up already means the quality is recognized.

Used to be that 'made in China' alone was enough to turn people off, and now Brembo's teaming up with them directly.

For Domenicali to bother issuing a warning, it must be a real threat.
