brembo fakes from thailand

This might have came up before, Just curious as to anyone that has ever bought the 16x18 frembo brake from thailand, (ebay). It looks exactly the same in pics, does anyone rock this? and how does it work?......I just don't wanna buy it if the lever is plastic along with it's internals, but if it worx just as good, I could save about 150 bucks.

Re: brembo fakes from thailand

all my friends that have had them had no luck with them, garbage. one couldnt keep pressure and another had it lock his caliper up when it got used a little and the fluid resivor wasnt overfilled. handbrakes pretty important so i wouldnt **** around with them.

Re: brembo fakes from thailand

Seriously, search "frembo", there are a few LONG threads on this. I think maybe 1 in 10 people have had good luck with them.

Re: brembo fakes from thailand

yeah I live in Thailand and these calipers are locally manufactured here UNDER LICENSE from Brembo for "locals" who can't afford the real deal.

But for 100 bucks here you can just as well get the real thing. Fakes 2 pistons cost around 25-40 bucks...cheap but the medical bills dont come as cheap.

Re: brembo fakes from thailand

Stay away. There's a reason why the Brembo's and Magura's are pricey. All comes done to quality control.

Re: brembo fakes from thailand

What about them sick looking $129 wave rotors? Anybody???? Have been watching them for about 6 months now, but nervous about ordering from China, and then it turns out to be ****, or takes 6 wks to get to me, and then it's ****.

Re: brembo fakes from thailand

I've ordered 2 sets of those Knock off rotors for my 90 GSXR. First set was perfect, no issues. The 2nd set, warped to **** the first time they heated up. NO QUALITY CONTROL =)

Re: brembo fakes from thailand

The word "FAKE" shoulda been your first clue that they are junk.

Re: brembo fakes from thailand

A bit cheaper but still awesome rotors are the Bremzen. We now carry them.


Bremzen SBK (superbike) Rotors - $439.99 a Set
BREMZEN ROTORS - CLICK HERE[/URL]
Bremzen Superbike Rotors are not only lighter than original but they are also self cleaning and cooling as the rotors spin. These Rotors have more initial bite, leading and trailing edges due to the opposing slots on each side of the blade. This allows for a 20 percent increase in braking power. The floating rotor design allows for better contact with the brake pads.

2 friends use the 130$ brake disc and they are happy with tham.
One ride a 1000rr and another on TL1000 , both ride hard.
