Galfer: Brake Discs, Pads and Braking Systems

The Galfer range brings together components for renewing and configuring the braking system, from replacement wear parts to sets with a disc and bracket. At Motarea you can explore the product families and find the right reference for each job. The selection includes road, scooter, motocross, enduro and trial applications, alongside Galfer Bike products for bicycles.

A history dedicated to braking since 1952

Galfer began in Barcelona in 1952 with Maffio Milesi, the founder of Industrias Galfer. Its early work focused on manufacturing friction materials for cars and drum brake linings for motorcycles. Over time, the brand extended this specialisation to disc brake pads and developed its catalogue for two-wheelers.

The brand’s development includes stainless steel discs, Disc Wave technology and sintered compounds for brake pads. Its history also covers cycling, with dedicated bicycle components. This variety makes it essential to distinguish each application: sharing a brand or a similar appearance does not make motorcycle and bicycle parts interchangeable.

The Galfer brake discs include fixed and floating configurations, with designs such as Wave, Shark or Cubiq depending on the reference. Before choosing, check the diameter, thickness, front or rear position and mounting points. When replacing a disc or considering an oversized option, also check its relationship with the existing caliper and bracket.

Under Galfer brake pads and shoes, you can compare friction materials intended for different uses. Galfer develops semi-metallic and sintered compounds for specific road, scooter, trial and off-road applications. Selection must start with the caliper, pad shape, mounting position and stated use of the reference; the compound name does not replace these checks.

The Galfer brake kits help you find sets combining braking system components, with original-size and oversized options depending on the application. Check each kit’s contents to see whether it includes a disc, pads or a bracket, and whether it is for the front, rear or both. Not every set contains the same parts.

The Galfer brake caliper adapters bring together brackets for adjusting the caliper position to a specific disc and mounting configuration. They are particularly relevant when the disc diameter changes. Check the intended offset, mounting type and the combination of caliper, fork and disc specified for the adapter.

Under Galfer brake accessories, you will find small mounting parts and Galfer Bike products, such as Center Lock adapters, e-bike speed sensor magnets and disc bolts. Check the relevant hub system, sensor or receiving component. These bicycle references must be selected for their specific application.

How to choose the right Galfer replacement part

First identify the vehicle and its installed braking system, then compare references, dimensions and mounting position. Distinguish motorcycle applications from bicycle applications and check the contents when buying a kit. The links on this page keep Galfer selected to make searching within each product family easier.
