Galfer DF835CW-B Front Brake Rotor

Introduced in the early 90s by Galfer, the Galfer Wave Rotors were designed to address the problem of water and mud on the brake rotor surfaces of trial competition motorcycles. As we refined the design, we discovered an additional benefit: the brake system was running at a cooler temperature. When we combined our innovative design with the premium materials we had already developed for our round rotors, the resulting breakthrough marked the beginning of a new era in brake rotor technology.

Crafted from Galfer's proprietary, non-recycled, high-carbon 420 stainless steel/8 composite, our rotors are not simply stamped like many others, but rather laser-cut, resulting in a precision finish while simultaneously heat-treating the rotor edges. To ensure perfect parallel flatness, we employ a double disc-parallel grinding process. Each specific application is heat-treated to prevent warping, and our designs are rigorously tested using CAD-CAM and stress analysis programs, as well as real-life dyno testing, prior to being made available on the market. Galfer's Galfer Wave Rotors have earned both KBA and TUV approval, underscoring their exceptional quality and performance.

The innovative Galfer Wave Rotor design was a direct response to the challenges faced by trial competition motorcycle riders. The presence of water and mud on the brake rotor surfaces was a persistent problem, compromising braking efficiency and rider safety. Recognizing the need for a solution, Galfer's team of engineers set out to develop a brake rotor that could withstand the demanding conditions of trial competitions.

The result of their efforts was the Galfer Wave Rotor, a groundbreaking design that not only addressed the water and mud issue but also offered an unexpected bonus: improved cooling. As the design evolved, the team discovered that the unique shape and construction of the Galfer Wave Rotor allowed for more efficient heat dissipation, keeping the brake system cooler during prolonged use. This discovery was a game-changer, as it not only enhanced the performance of the brakes but also extended their lifespan.

To achieve this level of innovation, Galfer employed the use of premium materials and advanced manufacturing techniques. The rotors are crafted from Galfer's proprietary, non-recycled, high-carbon 420 stainless steel/8 composite, a formulation that provides exceptional strength, durability, and heat resistance. Unlike many competitors who rely on stamping, Galfer's rotors are precisely laser-cut, ensuring a clean, consistent finish and heat-treating the rotor edges for enhanced longevity.

The manufacturing process doesn't stop there. Galfer's engineers also utilize a double disc-parallel grinding technique to guarantee perfect parallel flatness, a crucial factor in maintaining consistent braking performance. Each rotor is then heat-treated to the specific application, further preventing warping and ensuring a perfect fit.

To validate the Galfer Wave Rotor's performance, the company employs rigorous testing procedures. Each design is meticulously modeled using CAD-CAM software and subjected to comprehensive stress analysis, ensuring the structural integrity of the rotors. Additionally, the rotors undergo extensive dyno and real-life testing, simulating the demanding conditions encountered in trial competitions and on the road.

The Galfer Wave Rotor's exceptional quality and performance have earned it the prestigious KBA and TUV approvals, recognized worldwide as benchmarks of excellence in the automotive industry. These certifications are a testament to Galfer's commitment to delivering the highest standards of safety, reliability, and innovation to its customers.

In conclusion, the Galfer Wave Rotor represents a breakthrough in brake rotor technology, designed to address the unique challenges faced by trial competition motorcycle riders. By combining innovative design, premium materials, and advanced manufacturing techniques, Galfer has created a product that not only solves the water and mud problem but also delivers enhanced cooling and long-lasting performance. With its KBA and TUV approvals, the Galfer Wave Rotor sets a new standard in the world of motorcycle braking systems.
