Galfer New Shark Brake Disc 1.8mm Centerlock Disc Rotor (Road/Gravel)

Galfer continues to push innovation and high performance with the launch of its new Shark Road brake disc for centerlock system for road and gravel bikes, its most high-performing disc to date.

Designed for maximum efficiency, control, and lightness, the new Disc Shark®” Road expands and strengthens Galfer’s Road range by combining top-tier materials, cutting-edge technology, and a clear focus on demanding cyclists.

Developed by professionals, built for every rider

The Shark Road disc has been developed and refined in collaboration with the Lotto Cycling Team, a professional squad competing at the highest international level in World Tour events such as the Tour de France, Vuelta a España, and classics like Paris-Roubaix, Milan-San Remo, Liège-Bastogne-Liège or Amstel Gold Race.

Thanks to this invaluable feedback, Galfer’s engineers have optimized key aspects such as lateral stiffness, brake modulation, and thermal dissipation. Intensive use in competition, including demanding races like the spring classics, the Tour, and the Vuelta, turned the team into a real-world testing ground.

This technical alliance has been essential in creating a disc that meets the needs of all riders seeking performance, lightness, and reliability with every brake.

Innovative Shark technology arrives to road and gravel

Shark technology, synonymous with innovation and performance for Galfer, now reaches the road and gravel world after redefining braking standards in the brand’s MTB and Moto Off-Road ranges.

This advanced solution, based on a sophisticated internal fin and venting design, has set new standards for thermal dissipation in extreme conditions, delivering more stable, controlled response and greater component longevity.

Its application to road cycling represents a key milestone in Galfer’s technical evolution, reinforcing its leadership in high-level friction components for the most demanding cyclists.
