Brembo marks 25 years supplying 100% of the MotoGP grid with braking systems, extending its reach through Öhlins, AP Racing, and Marchesini subsidiaries across all three World Championship classes. The company is also set to return as the title sponsor of the Italian GP at Mugello in 2026. Brembo supplies customised braking systems to all 22 riders competing in the 2026 MotoGP season. The milestone marks the 25th anniversary of the premier class under its current name. Since 2016, the Italian manufacturer has equipped 100% of the grid, which include calipers, discs, master cylinders, and brake pads. Additionally, riders using Brembo components have won every world championship since the class was changed from 500cc two-strokes in 2002. As for subsidiary brands, the Brembo Group owns several prestigious brands including (but not limited to) Öhlins suspension, AP Racing clutches, and Marchesini wheels. These subsidiary subsidiary brands are supplied in the order of: Öhlins – Carbon fiber forks and aluminum shocks for 9 of 11 teams. AP Racing – Carbon clutch technology for 5 of 11 teams. Marchesini – Forged magnesium wheels (5 Y-spoke or 7-spoke configurations) for 9 of 11 teams. Technical Specifications for 2026 For the upcoming season, Brembo will continue working with riders and teams to optimize braking component selection. The complete MotoGP braking system weighs roughly 2.3 kg. Riders can choose from multiple carbon disc options based on riding style and personal preference. The finned disc remains among the most popular choices as it allows better heat dissipation in heavy braking zones. Each disc weighs 1.4 kg and must maintain an operating temperature between 250°C and 850°C. All riders will continue using the GP4 finned caliper. Brembo first introduced this caliper design in 2020. It has since become the standard across the entire MotoGP field. Brembo’s Role in Moto2 and Moto3 Brembo confirms its position as the sole caliper supplier in both Moto2 and Moto3 categories. Among the 14 Moto2 teams and 13 Moto3 teams racing in 2026, Brembo’s supply portfolio includes: Calipers – 100% of teams in both classes. Pads – Approximately 80% of teams. Master cylinders – Roughly 90% of teams. Steel discs – About 30% of teams. Marchesini wheels – Just under 30% of teams. Öhlins suspensions also maintain a strong presence, equipping 70% of the Moto2 grid and 50% of the Moto3 grid. Both Moto2 and Moto3 teams can select from finned or light steel discs. The choice depends on circuit severity. In contrast to MotoGP’s carbon discs, these steel options must stay below 650°C for peak performance. (The regulations do not allow carbon discs in Moto2 and Moto3.) The size and weight differences between classes are notable. The Moto3 disc measures Ø218 mm and weighs approximately 0.5 kg. In comparison, the Moto2 disc is Ø305 mm and weighs 1.3 kg — nearly triple the smaller-class disc. Brembo also offers finned calipers in both categories, derived from the GP4 caliper used in MotoGP. Overall braking system weight reaches about 6 kg in Moto2 and close to 4.5 kg in Moto3. These figures include both front and rear wheel assemblies.
