'Brembo was able to combine its experience as a solution provider and market leader for motorcycle performance brakes with our extensive supercar and motorsports history, supplying the perfect mix of performance stopping power and street comfort for the brake package on the R model.

'The Polaris system is an ideal lightweight design that provides excellent braking to the front wheels. Combine the great-looking aluminum calipers, with our disc and low-met pads, and the R's brake system will provide impressive performance while cruising in town or putting the R to the test on a closed course.'
