Let’s rewind over 70 years to Barcelona, Spain, where Italian entrepreneur Maffio Milesi set out with a clear vision: to create high-quality braking systems. Galfer began by producing brake pads for the automotive industry, quickly building a reputation for innovation and performance. By the late ’90s, as mountain biking evolved, Galfer shifted gears - developing disc rotors and pads for some of the first European companies venturing into MTB braking technology.
Fast forward to today, and Galfer offers a catalogue that supports all major brake brands and rotor types. By combining advanced materials with decades of engineering expertise, they've become a global leader in performance braking - consistently setting the bar for what high-performance stopping power should look like.
