There's no stopping progress...
...but you can progress stopping!
First we had radial calipers, then monoblocs, then the Stylema and now these snazzy finned jobbies have appeared on this season's WSBK Ducatis. I can't imagine that their improved cooling will be needed or noticed on the road but I bet that won't stop them appearing on next year's top-of-the-range Panigale. |

So what does the other pipe do? The one from the top of the caliper to just under the bottom of the fork? Some sort of ABS / rotation monitoring / datalogging thing?
And the bits the calipers fix too look ever so slender...

And, yes, those caliper mounting brackets look incredibly delicate, don't they? Titanium? |
