Galfer Bike launches on the market the fixed version of its innovative Disc Shark, the most complete MTB brake disc of the moment. Thanks to a state-of-the-art production process that involves laser cutting, it has achieved a design with an optimal geometry to ensure maximum performance.

- Greater braking power: thanks to the Disc Shark design, this disc requires less pressure on the braking circuit even in the toughest conditions, resulting in less braking effort. This results in 5-10% more braking power under normal conditions.
- Improved stability: even in the most unfavorable temperature conditions (with high gradients, high speeds, high ambient temperatures and high weight), the Disc Shark® disc maintains a stable and regular behavior in any situation. The structural design adapts to different disc diameters to achieve the right stiffness regardless of size.
- Lower operating temperature: the DiscShark drastically reduces the operating temperature by 30% compared to the high-end brake discs currently on the market and is built in a single piece for greater solidity
- Longer pad life: With the DiscShark, the useful life of the pads increases between 25 and 40% under normal use conditions
- Reduced disc weight: the optimized design makes the DiscShark lighter than most high-end brake discs on the market, both track and core
- Possibility of integrating the magnet for e-bike code MG003
- 2mm thickness
- Weight 174gr

SHARK DISC

In 2021 Galfer Bike started developing a first prototype of the new brake disc for the so-called “gravity” disciplines (DH / Enduro), adopted in the past season by the athletes of the UCI DH Commencal Muc-Off team. The use of this disc, combined with Galfer Pro pads, led to Myriam Nicole's victory in the World Championship, as well as several podiums won by Amaury Pierron and Thibaut Dapréla in the World Cup.

For this reason 2022 the disc is presented in a new guise greatly improved by the Galfer research, development and innovation department and by the collaborations undertaken, among others, with Martin Maes (Orbea Fox Enduro Team) and Alex Marin (IJ Racing). Hence the new Disc Shark®, designed by Galfer Bike for the most demanding athletes of the DH and Enduro “gravity” disciplines and which will soon be available also for Cross-Country.
