In other words, if you have any doubts, make sure the vendor is a customer of an Official Brembo Distributor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To do so, contact the Brembo Distributor in your country by telephone and ask for a reference for the vendor who is selling you the product.

Indeed, Brembo does not produce calipers, discs, master cylinders and clutches for all motorcycles, but only for some models and only after having carefully designed and tested them. If in doubt, you can consult the\u00a0Brembo configurator: just insert a little bit of simple information about your bike in the configurator <b>(<\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moto.brembo.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><b>www.moto.brembo.com<\/b><\/a><b>)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> like the brand, engine size, model, and the year of the first registration, and the configurator will indicate which products are available for your specific bike and where they can be purchased.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don&#8217;t find the product that they want to sell you for your motorcycle, it is likely that you have a fake on your hands or an original product that is not appropriate for your bike. In both cases, we suggest you turn to the Brembo Distributor in your country for further clarification.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moto.brembo.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17365 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/thai.webike.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/526.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"519\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thai.webike.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/526.jpg 519w, https:\/\/thai.webike.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/526-300x255.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thai.webike.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/526-24x20.jpg 24w, https:\/\/thai.webike.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/526-36x31.jpg 36w, https:\/\/thai.webike.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/526-48x41.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 519px) 100vw, 519px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>5. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adaptations<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brembo High Performance components never require adaptations and are sold in a kit that comprises all of the necessary elements for assembly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you are offered a Brembo product that requires external adaptation elements (spacers, clamps, etc.), you might be dealing with a fake or an original Brembo product meant <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brembo.com\/en\/bike\/racing-professionals\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><b>specifically for Racing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which means it is designed for professional teams and therefore requires specific technical skills to be used.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In both cases, we strongly suggest that you contact the Brembo Distributor in your country for additional clarification and support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thai.webike.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/527.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17366\" src=\"http:\/\/thai.webike.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/527.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"519\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thai.webike.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/527.jpg 519w, https:\/\/thai.webike.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/527-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thai.webike.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/527-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thai.webike.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/527-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/thai.webike.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/527-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/thai.webike.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/527-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/thai.webike.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/527-48x48.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 519px) 100vw, 519px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Visit and shop Brembo product in our website here &gt;&gt;&gt;\u00a0&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/thai.webike.net\/brd\/brembo\/117\/\">Brembo Webike Thailand<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Webike Weekly Promotion<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thai.webike.net\/sale\/?utm_source=wpmotonews&amp;utm_medium=wp&amp;utm_campaign=wksalebanner\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.webike.net\/gcm\/th\/Weekly_Sales_banner\/20160629_sale_756_300-th.jpg\" alt=\"Weekly sale from Webike Thailand\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&nbsp; THE BREMBO INSCRIPTION DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE PRODUCT IS OFFICIAL: HERE ARE ALL OF THE TIPS TO FIGURE OUT WHEN YOU&#8217;VE GOT A FAKE ON YOUR HANDS.\u00a0We have put together a 5-point mini guide to outline the characteristics that distinguish an original Brembo product from a fake. &nbsp; 1.
