Now there is. Brembo used to carry many more choices, but narrowed them all down to the HP line. So there's now HP ($500) and then the narrow-band pricey rotors ($1000 and up).

err, the actual braking surface where the pads make contact. it's narrow.

i like how galfer looks ,any diff in braking power?
also considering braking rotors, they look exactly like galfer.

right....and you can only use racing calipers with them. the pad surface with standard calipers is too wide for use with them (unless you grind down the pad). standard rotors have a much wider grip area.

brembo and galfer will perform the same for you. Go with what you like the looks of or can get the best deal on. Performance wise there isn't much of a diff. Personally I would take the galfer superbike rotors right now over anything else for sale.
