Brembo’s new Dual Cast disc range offers lower fuel consumption, lower emissions and better handling

The introduction represents an additional OE-quality offering that completes Brembo’s exclusive aftermarket two-piece brake disc portfolio

Detroit—Brembo has announced the addition of Dual Cast two-piece brake disc to its aftermarket offerings.

The new disc range — exclusive to Brembo — represent another step in Brembo’s mission to become a solution provider. The introduction joins the company’s existing Floating, Composite and Co-cast collections, to provide customers with a complete choice of two-piece replacement discs for a host of premium vehicles.

This new disc solution features the unique technical characteristics of Brembo’s two-piece portfolio, including use of a special iron casting process, lighter hats, pillar or directional venting, plus holes and/or grooves on the braking surface. Together these design solutions guarantee optimum braking performance in all conditions. In addition, the new disc allows more precise and stable vehicle dynamics, better pedal feel and reduced weight, along with added environmental benefits.

Specifically, Brembo’s new Dual Cast discs comprise 16 unique part numbers for the sportier models of some of the most common car brands on the market.

The patented design positions an aluminum hat alongside the cast-iron braking surface to harness the perfect performance of iron with the advantages of lightweight aluminum that can handle high temperatures. The result is a disc that’s up to 30 percent lighter than an integral one of the same size, allowing a significant reduction in the vehicle’s fuel consumption, emissions, with the added benefit of reducing unsprung weight.

The Dual Cast design also delivers up to 70 percent better resistance to thermal deformations, ensuring less residual torque and reducing the possibility of vibration.

Like all the exclusive designs in the company’s two-piece disc family, every Dual Cast component is subjected to the same rigorous specifications and quality controls that Brembo applies to its OE solutions.

Brembo’s Dual Cast disc is available to the aftermarket at participating retailers, auto service shops, or at Bremboparts.com.
