Ive had both and won the 2007 class b champs with a single disc setup.

But..... i have to agree with AK in that you can never have enough brakes but my RCS master cyl is turned down for low response as I tend to attack the brakes quite hard which has had me off a few times.

I used a brembo/ducati single disc in 2008 and for this year took advantage of
the revised rule where we can use after market disc's. (i bought 2 new discs for the price of a good s/h brembo)
I must say i prefer twin disc setup as it gives that little bit in reserve....

I've heard lots of people say the same thing, but I don't see why, when I can lock the front wheel in a straight line with a single disc, I'd want more then that 'in reserve'. And if a pad falls out, or a line fails, a 'reserve' won't help you either.

I ran twin full floating Brembo discs last year, this year changed to a single wave disc. Saved 4 kg on the front by swapping discs, losing a caliper and going to a later front wheel....braking is far better than last year and as she steers better too I expect I'm a bit less likely to crash too ! Doesnt make me any faster tho, just a little less slow maybe !

Good point, but i'm happy with it and i race for fun

That's all what matters
to me

I feel faster with 2 discs..........
