Talking everything carbon brakes: Tech Talk with Simon Crafar

[@whatithink5588]

Do continue these tech talks. It's so informative especially for the new audience❤.

[@Elgixxer2006]

The carbon rotors $$$$$$$$

[@Peanutdenver]

Dude...plus I can watch Simon showcase these jewelry like parts everyday of the week. MotoGP bikes are flat out beautiful.

[@banquo3051]

I love Simon Crafar, he is such a good communicator and a great guy

[@axelmatthew007]

Simon Crafar is the best of MotoGP Technical!

[@meeeer3282]

That brembo caliper is probably much expensive than my motorcycle. Hahaha 😍

[@belangsemput]

@@gaborprofesszor it was around 40k myr in Malaysia. Can buy a car with that.

[@amierullridzwan2025]

The pad can buy 2 of my motorbike

[@cachemoney970]

Jeeze the science that goes into this just always blows my mind!

[@Dinara1up]

Really appreciate these insights Simon! Keep it coming!

[@verdeboyo]

In 2022 I'm loving Simon's tech talk. What an incredible insight to MotoGP bikes👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@JLUnlimited]

Intro is funny as heck. He wasn't ready for that!!

[@8ballout]

I love Simon Crafar, wish he would be still on a bike. Keep the insights coming, Sir. Cheers.

[@Scooter_Cult]

Great Explanation Simon ! Keep The Good Work. Love U All The Crew Of MotoGP. Stay Healthy Guyyss

[@kirkdunn1379]

I raced MX and now ride street bikes....brakes are such a huge componet to any bike....you can only go as fast as you can stop.....for my first street bike high end brakes were a must..... Suspension and brakes are so important Running Stylema brembos and about as good as you can get for street......already saved my ass few times avoiding accidents.....

[@wotmof]

These kind of technical insights into motorbike racing is absolutely wonderful. I love those calipers, one billion pounds each. The description was very detailed, well done. Now let us know more about the engine, the electronics, the gear box, the clutch, cameras!

[@ryannicholson6356]

These Tech Talks are so informative. Simon is a great presenter and easily breaks down advanced tech into ways that us non-motor people can understand. Keep 'em coming Simon!

[@kenroot5682]

Simon is the best at taking stuff at the highest level and breaking it down to something easily understood at the lowest level. Keep up the tech segments, as I thoroughly enjoy them.

[@m0rph3u1st]

Thank you for continuing Tech Talks, Simon! Could you talk about traction control and also engine breaking in MotoGP, in future Tech Talks, please? Cheers from Portugal!

[@712536]

Love these videos with Simon, with his racing background he knows so much from both a riders point of view and from the technical side too 👏

[@paulocarreiro5855]

So, what have we learned today? Leaver movement is a bad thing! Simon is brilliant at explaining this stuff. I loved it.

[@Nicoda1st]

# Tech Talk are my favorite videos on KZbin! Please continue to make them on a more regular basis. Simon Crafar is a Master in explaining these things!

[@LanceLumbanPHI]

Love to watch Simon. What a great guy! A gift to motorsport fans! Nice work mate!

[@michaelhcoleman8450]

Simon very well done. i am a retired aerospace engineer and you present things is a clear and concise manner. By the way have the MotoGP engineers ever considered switching to Skydrol? It is a phosphate ester hydraulic fluid that is non-hydroscopic, viscosity stable and fire proof, we used it on the Bombardier Challengers, Global Express and RJ series jets. It is used on most of the commercial / business jets presently flying. As a Ducati fan I'll say mention it to GG Dall'Igna first.

[@nunessilva2162]

This guy is brilliant. Everything makes sense after he's done explaining. He's the Richard Feynman of going fast on two wheels. Richard taught QED physics Simon teaches motorcycle physics. Same thing really :-) Go Simon!

[@mirokertov1611]

Absolutely amazing SC. Best tech talks ever in the scene

[@BLKBRDD]

Amazing technology. This really puts in perspective why you don’t want them on a road car/bike but would absolutely benefit on a track.

[@montalvoandres]

Simon is THE reason to watch MotoGP haha love the material mate!

[@motogp]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@mimax45]

Damn I love Simon, the very best consultant ever.

[@dzexeyz]

Thanks for mentioning Malaysia in Humid Condition on Calipers..

[@tabs41]

Thank,s Simon, great to hear the master at work, you make these complex systems much easier to understand.

[@waldemarostrau5335]

Really interesting. More of these technical docus would be wonderful. Nice to have you back Simon,we have missed you.

[@andrewwiltse8882]

These videos really help explain things so people can understand the importance of what keeps they’re bike on the road and out of the ditch!👍 Great stuff

[@shawnpark2840]

That was very informative! Great to learn about this from someone so intimately familiar with the tech. Thanks Simon!

[@careme2006]

Great video, really informative. I met Simon at Cartagena when he was coaching (Motovudu) and can honestly say he is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Top fella

[@bigmikeh]

Thanks Simon and MotoGP - very informative discussion. MORE MORE MORE !!!

[@brandoloudly9457]

loved it m8. great video. hydroscopic, water absorbent, it's why you always throw your extra brake fluid away (dont store it) after putting new fluid in

[@peters5547]

Great video Simon, please continue to make such. Thank you!

[@u9Nails]

This was absolutely fascinating! Something which sounds so simple as stopping can be this complex and have so many problems to solve. I never knew it expected these challenges. I learned a lot and hope for more of these! I'm subscribed and hitting notification!

[@marcov4190]

After the race, this is my favourite part of the show. Amazing tech!

[@Showmetheevidence-]

I’ve had some heavy brake fade on a track... it’s f* scary when you grab the lever and nothing happens!!!

[@laurensbrantsen]

I cannot seem to find another button where I can like this video again once more... Thanks for explaining Simon!

[@azlong4596]

Simon since you were a Ohlins tech would it be possible to do a video on why or what is the difference, problem, geometry or what in the Moto GP Honda front suspension and what seems to be everyone else's. Marc can make it work but few others if any. Love the tech videos thanks.

[@gilnemesis3547]

Thanks very much, very interesting explanations about the parts that push off the brake pads from the disc. I discover that thanks again.👍👍

[@jamb0y]

Awesome, he should have more input during the race. Awesome info

[@dustedstar5158]

Love the new stopwatch quir, great show Simon

[@benblakemore4195]

CRAFARS NO1. 😊😆😊😆 SUPER GRATEFUL FOR THIS INSIGHT!!! KIA KAHA BRO!!!!

[@MrJps900]

This talk was great! Keep them coming Simon.

[@one-of-us9939]

♥️tech talk♥️Simon in a world where: ♥️= honor+respect!

[@markcotter4213]

I could listen to Simon all day

[@maxgermasi3302]

Good Job Simon! I like your videos a lot and appreciate your efforts, keep'em coming mate! Thanks

[@markgunn6680]

Simon Crafar is a legend! :-)

[@PhilippeLenain]

Excellent Simon, bravo!

[@glennhenderson9243]

This was fascinating Simon, please do more of these vids.

[@mujtabakamal]

Very informative 👏 👌 👍. Please continue educating us for the passion we have

[@FardeenIrani]

Thanks Simon, stay safe. Any chance you can give more explanation on how how dual breaks work in Moto GP where you have some riders have a foot and a thumb break both working together.

[@Furrylicorice]

That would be nice. I talked to Jack Miller about it last year he said he only uses his foot, doesn’t like the hand rear brake leavers .

[@markg7834]

Another great lesson from Professor Crafar!!

[@thomasweiss9723]

it's always great to listen to simon´s tech talk 👍👍👍👍👍

[@JanBuatim]

This is wonderful! Thanks ! Keep thetech talk going

[@Runyamouth]

I love this dude! True tech head and true gentleman!

[@dumyjobby]

loved this, and my god those brake calipers are a work of art

[@mrfaifai]

Really good one with Simon’s track experience . Maybe later on can cover technology using from moto3 / moto2 and also moto-e as well.

[@simonbertioli4696]

Very interesting..excellent..yes a big nervous at first..but hey who wouldn't be..thank you very much for the video..Now l have a request..can you do any tech talk on racing sidecars. Wheel positioning dimensions, ie how far infront of the rear does the 3rd wheel need to be also steering ..👍👏👏👏

[@SGU.TF-141]

I love these tech talk!! Keep them coming!!

[@Showmetheevidence-]

Those callipers are insane!

[@szewei85]

Haha man the legend is on the paddock nice👏👍His fight with the great mick doohan in 98 was the best ever yet great 2 see him track side after all these years

[@raimondtutu3248]

Brilliant explanation!! And what about when raining? Brake discs receive more cooling power due to the convection by water, years ago motogp brake discs were made on steel because there was difficult for them to reach the 250ºC to work properly if they were made on carbon. How have they solved this issue?

[@MPI1000]

They use covers for the discs so they don't get spray directly on them.

[@101modifiedcars]

this is super good explanation !!! thank u so much, Simon is a legend !

[@denisrailey777]

Awesome information. Braking so important in racing.

[@canadianshark74]

Love this stuff!! Keep bringing it! Cheers

[@ducatimale]

Brilliant, as always, Simon.

[@FastRu-kl7iy]

Now I know why my brake lever going out during braking. Thank you.

[@Jackdudu]

Waiting for this from so many months.

[@motivationalvoicing4545]

I need this brake system to my scooter🤣🤣🤣

[@epicon6]

You would just fly off the bike :)

[@HariDwiS]

You push your brake lever and your scooter will fly back in time to the past

[@TheSubieFan]

In all seriousness and I know none of this is serious we could never get these brakes up to temp and we would have worse brakes than steel.

[@Kid574]

@@TheSubieFan Yeah indeed. It's something i struggle getting my friends to understand when they want the "racing brake pads" for road use. It's to a lesser extent very similar to this

[@stevechampion7938]

Love these tech talk videos. Great job!!

[@marty1780]

These tech talks are awesome.

[@mattc8797]

Hi. I'm visually impaired and I enjoyed your videos. It keeps my spirits up during lockdown. I couldn't enjoy this video because Simon wore a mask, in an empty room on his own. Can I enquire if you are going to add another so I can lip read the information? Thank you

[@metakmoto]

I love learning! Especially from smart folks 😁

[@astramorikes224]

Great, thank you Simon!

[@chrisr7341]

Very interesting to watch, looking forward to more of this

[@timjamesvella]

That caliper is beautiful!!! How does the caliper anti drag system work?

[@NewsMoto]

8:00 I thought he said "Tiktok" LOL 😂

[@ralentinovossi8081]

Coz it's his stupid kiwi accent.

[@ThayQiGER]

I love these videos, never stop please ❤️

[@geetarthneo]

Love it, please keep up the tech talks.

[@mpraele]

Incredibly clear explanation! tks

[@stevenizbicki3809]

Another awesome explanation. Please keep it up

[@guybramwells]

What about tungsten plating on steel disks. I've heard there is a high degree of consistency, with them. Though the break calipers may need to be larger.

[@RavenWormHead]

also tungsten is more or less 2.5x heavier than the steel disc soooo 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@nickrider5220]

Great explanation of motogp tech Simon !

[@alicobanoglu1445]

thanks Simon! these tech talks are great..

[@sarkoezy]

👏👏👏 merci for this awesome explanation!! 🍻🍻

[@MaerooBand]

Great information technology brake for MotoGP.. excellent..

[@12volttavern]

I click "like" as these videos start, no need to wait

[@farschadabolfathi]

Awesome explanation .. love it !!

[@budikoreng453]

Wow, he explains much better than my lecturer

[@coreydunn3038]

Thanks, Simon, very informative👍

[@haf2193]

Yet in Malaysia much of motorcycle or car owner doesn't change brake fluid regularly.. By the way how carbon brake working on when it raining at the track?

[@DisasterEqualPeace]

Love the techtalk videos!

[@kristofkoncz4481]

Great video! Which year did they start using carbon disks in Motogp, and when did every team change to it?

[@christianacebo5109]

More #TechTalk please! And Race Tutorials!

[@jamesstewart7224]

Magic 👍 thanks Simon

[@edyedy4986]

Es algo emocionante y a la vez extraño, esperar la cuenta atrás...

[@4K_Design]

Simon has got the pole position of tech talks.

[@muscleguyphilippines]

Learned a lot of interesting things, thanks 👍

[@GraftonPaddlesports]

Thanks Simon.
