Brake Disc front floating 220mm Stage6 R/T Vespa GTS
Description
Stage6 Racing Brake Disc Vespa GTS
Stage6 is always looking for ways to optimise products for road and race use, and since brakes are pretty important they improved their brake discs as well.
When developing the Stage6 R/T Floating Brake Disc 220mm MK2 Piaggio Vespa, the focus was on highest reliability and maximum braking power. The result is a high-end brake disc suitable for racing use, but that can of course also be used for everyday road use. Can be used on Vespa GTS, GTV, Gilera Runner VXR 180, Piaggio Typhoon 50 E4 and many more.
The brake disc is 100% made in Italy and has been tested under real conditions on the race track. It is completely made of high-quality martensitic steel. This type of steel has a high carbon and chromium content, the main advantage is its superior toughness and hardness, which guarantees an extended service life.
The heat treatment of the braking surface is the same as that used on superbikes, so when competing in circuit races pilots can brake consistently and powerfully throughout the entire race.
This model is floating; floating discs look really great, and they have several advantages. With floating brake discs, the braking force is distributed about 30% more evenly than with normal discs, resulting in better brake response and more even wear of the brake pads. The brake disc is equipped with anodized orange floaters made of 7075 T6 aluminium, whose strength is comparable to steel but weighs much less.
Advantages of floating Stage6 MK2 brake rotor:
- increased and constant braking power even under extreme conditions
- excellent heat distribution and limited expansion and distortion at high temperatures
- reduced wear of the brake pads
- better handling and more grip when braking in corners
The use of brake pads adapted to your individual driving style and use is very important to ensure optimum braking performance. In this table you will find the fitting pads:

Motorcycle and scooter brake disk
The brake disc on the front wheel and / or rear wheel play an essential role in the braking system of motorcycles and scooters.
Brake rotors are firmly attached to the wheel or wheel hub with brake bolts. They work in conjunction with the brake pads, which are pressed onto the brake discs via the brake caliper. This pressure creates the friction that is important for braking, which allows the vehicle to slow down and come to a stop.
When to change the brake rotor?
Brake pads wear out faster than brake discs and need to be replaced regularly. Brake discs, on the other hand, can last between 20,000 and 40,000 kilometers, depending on driving conditions. It is recommended that you monitor brake pad wear and inspect brake rotors for signs of excessive wear or deformation. If you see any sign of damage, the brake disc should be replaced.
No matter if standard, wave or floating - when you install a new brake disc on your scooter or motorcycle, you should also replace the brake pads at the same time. You should securely fasten front or rear brake disc with threadlocker.
