for me it's OZ GASS, they are 6 spoke (which I think look a little better) and they are another circa 20% lighter again than Piega's, at around £2100 you need another £500 to get carbon.
Keep it coming, this is all good reading and encouragement. Has helped remind me power is not what I need yet. Am going to try slicks, got some R11s to go on next as a step in that direction. Callipers seems like a good place to start. Is there much difference between P4 and M4.. and are they both going to need new lines (read some stuff about twin lines / splitting near the callipers etc). Quite like the look of the P4s, just aesthetically.
Don’t know much about the p4, but the M4’s are a highly regarded brake calliper and perform brilliantly, they also seem pretty hard wearing and don’t require lots of maintenance. If you get the correct ones then you’ll just need brake lines, just be careful because they run closely to the wheel rim.
Yep totally agree. I did CSS up to level 3 but then got nerfed off my 748R at Brands, which really knocked my confidence. Taken ages to get back to not expecting the back wheel to be taken out all the time! Booked on the ‘master bike’ thing at Silverstone in May if anyone is going.
There’s nowt wrong with P4’s! Just take care to make sure the pads don’t wear too thin...PING!! P4’s won’t need new lines as the banjos are correct when swapping with them wooden jobbies (confirmed on my M1100 which had the same shite calipers as base 848).
I have a '13 848 Evo with the M4s. Great brakes, but not so sure about the stock MC. It seems a little soft in the feel of it. New fluid, properly bled and there is plenty of bite - just doesnt feel quite right. But, have only had it a couple months...
If you want a decent boost, you could always go for another minor mod .... https://www.ducati-kaemna.de/catalo...-big-bore-kit-fuer-848-1040-ccm/category/323/
