HHR Performance » TK Dischi Freno
The TK record comes from the passion for mechanics and the elegance of Made in Italy. These TK brakes are self-ventilating disc brake rotors designed to fulfill the most demanding commitments of motorcycle competitions. The processing of every single TK brake is carried out with precision CNC machining. The braking part is composed of a chrome silicon alloy which acquires a unique friction coefficient through thermal processes in a controlled atmosphere. For the connection parts to the wheel hub, an Ergal alloy is used, always obtained from solid. To check for any defects in the material, penetrating liquids and magnetic flux are used, which provides a unique degree of safety. The effectiveness of the TK disc brake rotor can already be guessed with your initial visual inspection. The particular conical perforations exploit the Venturi principle. This translates into the following advantages: excellent cooling (tests have resulted in a 20% reduction in temperature compared to conventional discs), and a significant reduction of fading from overheating. TK brakes also provide increased safety and less weight with consequent reduction of the gyroscopic effect. Rain, atmospheric agents, and debris, such as mud and dust, are easily cleaned from the pads during use, allowing for greater braking modulation even in damp environments.

If you are using different calipers that require a Narrow Band Rotor please let us know when ordering so we can make sure you receive the correct size for your brake set up. Ie some Brembo Calipers use a Narrow Pad
If your using the oem Brembo this rotor application is correct
Used for the Demands of Current Superbike and Moto2 racing where racers are using the rear brake not only to slow the bike into turns but to keep the bike from wheeling while exiting the turn and for holding the line they want.
For best use pair this rotor with the front rotors and one of our Front thumb brake set up or the even more popular left hand lever brake set up as seen on many of the GP bikes and superbikes this year!
This brake is not going to warp on you like some other rotors that are designed to reduce weight but also reduce braking performance.
More About TK Dischi Freno
1. MATERIALS: The materials we use for production are the result of years of on-going research and development on race tracks. The quality of these materials combined with the particular shape of the disc also ensures less wear of the disc. The materials are all certified and the disc production process is via a chain allowing full traceability of the finished product; 2. WEIGHT: the particular drilling increases the removed material with the same diameter of the hole and the consequent reduction of the gyroscopic effect (-250g disc for the SBK version); 3. PAD CLEANING: the equidistant holes make the heat distribution even (tests carried out have shown a reduction in temperature compared to conventional discs of approximately 20%) significantly reducing “fading from overheating” while inclined drilling allows fast discharge of any impurities such as: friction material, mud, water, etc.. 4. MODULATION: the distribution of the holes modulates the braking action while keeping the pad clean and increasing safety on wet or slippery conditions. 5. RESIDUAL TORQUE: a significant reduction in residual torque due to the pads being clean, greater cooling and constant thermal distribution (better sliding action in a straight line and in the middle of a bend). The particular drilling helps keep the pads efficient and constantly revive.
