For many years we have been stocking cast iron brake discs made in the UK by race experts PFM. These discs offer many advantages over BMW original equipment discs or other stainless steel replacements;
1 They stop in the wet
Cast iron has a significantly greater co-efficient of friction than stainless steel which increases the effectiveness of the brake disc, particularly in the wet.

2 They do not crack between the drilled slots or holes
The properties of cast iron mean that the PFM discs do not need to be drilled or slotted to expel water. The holes in the original BMW discs encourage uneven disc wear and lead to cracks forming radially. The cracks can cause the brake pads to jam on the disc meaning the wheel locks up even if only light braking pressure is applied. Never ride a machine with cracked discs.

3 They are cheaper
Because PFM produce discs for all BMW models and due to our increased buying power we are able to offer these discs at better prices than ever before. Prices start from £85 much cheaper than the BMW originals.

Manufactures of high performance disc brake systems for motorcycle racing and road use. "Having invested over half a million pounds on state of the art CNC machining facilities, manufacturing has certainly put us in a position which gives the edge over other brake product agents and distributors".

Based on the Isle of Man, 'The Road Race Capital of The World' PFM is no stranger to motorcycle racing.

PFM Initially carried out investigations into the ideal material for light weight brake discs for motorcycles and discovered a material that had been ignored because of incorrect advice from brake pad manufacturers, that was in fact the perfect material for this application, due to its excellent frictional and heat transfer characteristics (compared to stainless steel). This discovery led to the development of a unique production process for manufacturing Ductile Iron (DI) motorcycle brake discs in 1990.

Since that time over £500,000.00 has been invested in C.N.C. machines for the manufacture of motorcycle brake discs and calipers. Along with over £100,000.00 on test equipment (Brake Dynamometer, Data logging equipment and Measuring equipment) and design and manufacturing software (SolidWorks and CamWorks)
