New take on ZTL brakes by Brakko

Never seen these before, but I found this video on youtube while I was browsing some Z1000 videos... [sad] haha

Idk...looks like a lot of extra hardware (weight) compared to the Buell setup.

5-0 make those next!

Haha! That's not gonna happen!

while it looks cool and has the same pricible as the buell set up it still seems more heavy than the buell set up.

It looks cooler but it does look like it might weight a bit more. I dont think there is anyway around that.

neat rendering, lets see the real product! i bet it can't/wont be done! looks way to complicated for maintenance and trying to exert those forces on a "fixed" hub? sounds like an assembly nightmare.

yeah the only part about it I'm really not comfortable with is the calipers mounted on the hub. I feel like it would flex and not be all that efficient. The point of the rotor mounted on the rim is to save braking forces from traveling through the spokes and hub, and now they're just creating a similar problem with the calipers.

not sure how you're supposed to remove the wheel either without draining the brake fluid. You'd also have to pull the actual wheel apart to remove the rotor.

looks like someone finally perfected buells design.
