Disc GALFER SHARK® Road Center-Lock

From the peloton to the road In collaboration with the Lotto Cycling Team, Galfer has developed the Disc Shark® Road & Gravel brake rotor, designed specifically for road and gravel bikes. Thanks to valuable feedback from the professional team competing at the highest international level on world tours such as the Tour de France, Vuelta a España, and classics like Paris–Roubaix, Milan–San Remo, Liège–Bastogne–Liège, and Amstel Gold Race, the brake disc has been further refined and optimized in key aspects such as lateral stiffness, brake modulation, and heat dissipation. Intensive use under race conditions has served as the ultimate testing ground. The result is a component that meets the demands of all cyclists seeking performance, lightweight design, and reliable braking. Wavy shape “Shark Fins” In the modern era of road and gravel cycling, key criteria include low weight, precise control, and exceptional durability.With the Shark version of its innovative brake disc, Galfer presents its most advanced model to date, combining premium materials and cutting-edge technology to achieve maximum efficiency.The disc is 10 to 20 grams lighter than comparable braking systems, without any loss in durability or reliability. The ingenious design of the internal ribs and ventilation system, part of the proven Shark technology already successful in MTB and off-road applications, now sets new standards for road bikes in terms of heat dissipation under extreme conditions.Together with the proven Wave shape, demanding riders benefit from a more stable and controlled braking response, as well as a rotor with greater lateral stiffness and a significantly longer lifespan. In addition, the design ensures that both pistons in the brake calipers act symmetrically, preventing unwanted rubbing. This not only improves braking performance but also ensures even pad wear. Attention to detail is also evident in the Centerlock lockring, which was specially developed for road bike use and employs a notched locking system to prevent loosening during long rides or demanding descents.
