We’re installing a new BrakeTech front brake rotor, tires and a rear shock spring to Dean’s Supermoto. We love doing these things, especially together, and we like to share and to inspire.

The patented AXIS™ series Racing brakes and kits are all about demanding tight track SuperMoto racing where power and control is paramount. Feel and feedback at the lever can make all the difference on fast corner entries which is a core focus of our race rotors.   Not just another brake rotor, the patented AXIS full-floaters feature our uniquely hi-tech architecture that provides complete control of both axial and radial float.  This pivotal development increases load capacity under severe braking conditions in the rarefied atmosphere of top level racing…an exclusive trademark of the AXIS series race rotors.
Carriers are CNC machined from high tensile strength U.S. spec extruded billet aluminum.  Available in Black Diamond or titanium bronze hard anodize finishes.  Three floater button finishes are available:  Standard red, optional blue or black.

With focus squarely centered on racing, the advanced design AXIS™ full-floaters offer substantially improved performance in terms of both modulation at the lever and overall braking power.  The patented advanced floating system of the AXIS series full-floaters is many times stronger than conventional semi-floating brake rotors.  The heart of this patented design has the floater buttons controlling radial and axial float only, they are non-load bearing.  All of the considerable braking forces are channeled through the trademarked Direct-Link™ architecture comprising over an 800% increase in surface area load transfer as compared to conventional floating brake rotors…simply a superior design!
We offer them in in our new AXIS/RR as well as the brilliant performing Cobra SS (both in our proprietary stainless steel).  The Cobra features our optimized petal design with none of the downside problems associated with the wave type rotors.
Plus we are the first major brake rotor manufacturer to include hi-tech Cryogenic processing on the entire line of performance rotors as a standard operational component of manufacture.   The inclusion of this advanced technologically employing computer controlled, the 24 hour deep cycle freezing treatment provides improved wear resistance and longevity.
On brake pads for for heavy track use, the new Ferodo carbon/ceramci CPro is a true standout.  They feature a progressive rising torque curve for terrific feel and feedback at the lever, plus a higher thermal threshold than most sintered metal pads.

Our 1st Supermoto race class is coming up on 10/6/2024, and I’m very excited about it. So if you have a Supermoto bike, no matter what size, then you need to read and join this.

Riding Supermotos and such bikes are getting more and more popular. Yes, we offer the Supermoto 1on1 program for a long time, but we’ve decided to actually do an entire class per year because it’s just too much fun. A Supermoto is a total different breed, and so is the class. It’s gonna be wild, so you better buckle up because at the end of the class we also do some heats and a race.

Suitable to

• Street and track riders who have a any kind of Supermoto bike 
• At least intermediate level or went through our Cornering program
• Riders who want to learn Supermoto style
• Want to learn to backing-it-in and to pass
• Want to do a race (a bucket list thing for some)

What You Get

The Stockton Little 99 Raceway is a perfect place to run such class. The high repeating frequency leads to quick improvements. The student headcount is a little less than in all other classes and we’ll have a EMT, which explains the slight higher ticket price. This high paced class will conclude in fun heat races, where students can put to use what they’ve learned in a controlled environment that respects their fellow students, where we keep hooligans in check. Now how cool’s that?!

Riding a Supermoto is a total different approach, so you’ll learn specific lines- body positioning- shifting-  backing-it-in and passing. Furthermore body positioning, lines and viewing technique, passing and race strategies are subjects as well as learning to start from the grid before you’ll line up for a heat race and to qualify for the final.

Don’t wait to grab a spot because we’re doing this class only once per year.
