Overview
- Brembo confirmed on June 12, 2026 that it will become the sole braking systems supplier to the World Superbike Championship starting in the 2027 season.
- The company will introduce Hyction carboceramic discs, a carbon-ceramic material Brembo says gives more consistent braking, higher modulation, wider operating temperatures and longer component life compared with steel discs.
- Brembo and WorldSBK frame the agreement as a development laboratory to generate race data that can speed transfer of braking technology to high-end production motorcycles.
- Organisers have not yet published technical rollout details such as homologation rules, part pricing or how Hyction will perform across diverse circuits, and some commentators warn a single supplier could change team costs.
- The change follows Brembo’s existing use of carbon brakes in MotoGP prototypes and early Hyction fitment on limited-production bikes like the Ducati Superleggera V4 Centenario, and it comes alongside separate reports of a 2027 tyre supplier switch to Michelin.
