That would totaly defeat the purpose while giving unbelievable stopping power and braking area!

Yep.

i know, but it would look sweet. and one finger braking...

or great brakes without the need to upgrade pads, like many of u mentioned...

Pad upgrades are no big deal. They are a consumable. The stock brake pads suck. You are only providing what comes on other bikes stock with an upgrade.

Then what you get are brakes that function as well as two rotor designs plus the 8lbs per wheel of unsprung weight savings.

it appeared by the posts that the stock brakes sucked compared to stock standard 2rotors-i understand they are a consumable, but if u immediatly need to change the pads because they suck, then u arent consuming the first set. which sucks. but thats just the way i read it, coulda misinterpreted it. it happens.
dont think its 8lbs..maybe more like 4-5, that caliper looks waaaay bigger than the 1st version. when the 1st version first came out i think they claimed 6 or 7lbs dif

it seems most of the weight is saved from the rim, so couldnt u possibly have two ztl rotors, and two smaller calipers and come out with slightly better brakes with out changing the weight much if any?

Stock brakes are fine for street riding. Bit lacking for race purpose.
The weight savings is from one less rotor, one less caliper, and all the fasteners involved for said items.

and the wheel.

the guys complaining arent racers as far as i know
doesnt matter, id never get a 1125. dont hurt to analyze innovation tho

Wheel is correct. Just look how thin the spokes are...the braking forces aren't being transfered to the hub with the ZTL.


The stock pads...and I dont know about the 1125...as I've had limited riding time on them...but on the Firebolt they are too soft. They leave deposits on the rotors that make it feel warped. The Lyndall Gold's took care of all of that. They have great feel and great power.
