Are wavy\'s heavier than solids

Does anyone know if wavy disc's are heavier than std disc's or not. The brembo stainles steel disc's I have come in at 1318kg, just under 3 Lbs

Good question Jon, afraid I can't answer it, but I was weighing my discs the other day to see which were the lightest so that they could be fitted to my mag wheel, I found there was very little difference between the latest Brembo semi floaters ala 748R etc, the Brembo full floaters ala 915SP etc and the EBC prolites. My lightest set turned out to be a set of Spondon fully floaters

Jon,

To my surprise my 'Braking' waveys turned out heavier than the standard '01 748R Brembo discs that I replaced. i thought part of the beneift of wavey was less unsprung weight. Turns out to be not the case in my instance.

Std '01 748R Brembos = 1355grm each
Braking STX62D Wavey = 1375grm each

Not saying this will be the case in all configurations but if you have the later Ohlins OEM forks and the Brembo P4 calipers that cater for a bigger offset on the discs then you may well find that the model of waveys that fit this setup, will be slightly heavier too.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Guy
