Brakes 34 www.aftermarketonline.net MAY 2025 Introducing the Brembo Xtra range Superior style and extra performance for drivers with passion The company’s experience in the OE market is reflected in this exclusive line-up that includes a broad portfolio of braking solutions dedicated to the Aftermarket sector. Brembo Xtra range is a cool replacement lineup of braking solutions that combines distinctive performance with an attractive design to enhance the pleasure of sporty braking in every driving condition. Directly derived from Brembo’s extensive expertise in innovative processes and solutions for the OE market, the Xtra products perfectly suit the needs of passionate drivers capable of taking their on-road driving experience to the next level with the customisation of their cars. With 60% vehicle parc coverage, the Xtra range already includes more than 300 disc part numbers, 200 brake pads and X-Style calipers, which are the most recent additions to this product family. In particular, the Xtra range is made up of Brembo X-Style calipers, Brembo Xtra discs, Brembo Max discs, Brembo Sport discs and Brembo Xtra brake pads. Dedicated to premium models, the Brembo X-Style calipers are the latest Xtra addition to the Aftermarket sector. Exuding a colourful touch of originality, they are the ideal choice for passionate drivers seeking a ‘plug & play’ car set-up. They offer an ideal customisation solution by blending the renowned elegance of Brembo’s fixed aluminium calipers, with a touch of originality from a choice of distinctive colours that will suit each driver’s unique style. The standard shades are red, yellow, black and grey, with other custom colours also available upon request. Brembo Xtra discs have been developed to offer an efficient cooling system, with greater air circulation and improved heat and water dissipation capabilities. The sporty aesthetic is emphasised by performance-enhancing holes in the braking surface which serve to scrape material from the braking surface and thereby reduce brake disc wear. Brembo Max discs are engineered with a unique shape that enhances the functionality of the braking system, to ensure an immediate braking response on application of the brake pedal. The slotted disc enables a higher friction coefficient, which also improves stopping performance in the initial stages of braking, even at high temperatures. Moreover, Brembo Max grooves are designed to control conditions under which brake discs wear, and are finished with a protective UV coating to prevent corrosion. Brembo Sport discs are ideal for enthusiasts who use their vehicles both for everyday driving and for a more dynamic, sporty experience. The specific slotted design on the braking surface ensures lasting pad surface cleaning, which improves braking consistency by dissipating the heat and gases generated when the pads come into contact with the discs. Additionally, Brembo Sport discs provide better initial bite at the start of braking, making the driving experience even more complete. Brembo Xtra brake pads are designed to work with Brembo Xtra discs and Brembo Max discs to provide excellent performance combined with ultimate precision. Made from a combination of 30 different components to create exclusive friction material, the pads are the perfect choice to enhance sporty driving pleasure, without impacting on mileage or compromising on safety and comfort on the road. Brembo Xtra brake pads are designed to work harmoniously with Brembo Max discs and Brembo Xtra discs, each operating interdependently to provide excellent performance and ensure complete control over the braking system. Brembo Xtra brake fluid is the ideal solution that combines the exceptional resistance to high temperatures of a DOT 5.1 fluid with the low viscosity of a DOT 4 fluid. Viscosity is an important factor for the correct operation of the braking system, above all in modern vehicles with anti-locking brake systems and electronic systems for traction and stability control. In these systems, the fluid flows through the control mechanisms. It is therefore vital that the liquid is extremely fluid, because of the need for a precise and immediate transfer. Due to these characteristics, Xtra brake fluid is the liquid that Brembo suggests in combination with the other products in its Xtra range, such as discs, pads and calipers, for sporty and safe road driving. Brembo Max discs are engineered with unique shape to enhance functionality
