Brake dust, it’s not just a car or bike cleaning headache, it’s an air-quality problem.
With Euro 7 emissions rules set to target particulate matter from brakes, Brembo has stepped in with a high-tech solution called Greentell.
Using Laser Metal Deposition, Brembo coats its brake discs with a special alloy, slashing emissions by 90% on the WLTP cycle. The discs also wear down slower, around 20–30% longer lifespan.
No fancy drilling or slots here; smoother surfaces mean fewer particles. These are aimed at Europe for now, but Brembo’s watching the U.S. market too. Clean air might just come with a Brembo logo stamped on it.
My two cents…
No idea when and if we will see this on bikes, but it looks like pretty cool tech.
That said, if it allows corporate to somehow offset their carbon footprint, get ready for “Greentell” on your next bike 🙂
