New choice of radial calipers. Anyone interested?

[bismarck]

I'm bringing them into NZ. Would be a good choice for upgrading your brake system.
These calipers will fit any modern sportsbike, naked bike or supermotard with 100mm/108mm caliper spacing.
Ready to be mounted as is.

A bit of overkill? Oh well

You missed April 1st by a long shot.

The name sounds like (and looks like) a Chinese rip-off of Brembo.

I'll pass thanks.

A member here was importing "Blembo" calipers a while back for bucket racing. Exact replica of the real thing.

And I think the same applies here.

Taiwan. With quality control, texture, sharp and precision. Racing sport number 1 brake system. Seems like a deal to me.

Ok, all piss-taking aside. I'm not trying to knock you but I'd be interested in how these are considered an upgrade.

They must be awesome, considering sombody has taken the Brembos off their Hypermotard and fitted Frodo's.

Now now, we must get the name right. Frando.

In all honesty it sounds like the name of a hobbit

Hey there. I see you're local to me?

I have access to a brake hose testing device... it doesn't do anything but put around 4800psi through whatever is connected to it... I'd be keen to put one of these on there, so we could see if it flexes, or leaks, or anything untoward.

I'd do it for free for you (would only take 5-10 minutes),and I'd be happy for you to keep the results to yourself (unless it exploded, in which case I'd prefer you shared that info!).

If you could get a sample that we could test, maybe it'll highlight any potential problems before you spend up large and import a box full. And maybe not, but the offer is there if it is of use to you

+ 1. Considering any bike that these will fit will already have Brembo, Nissin or Tokico calipers which are proven, high quality brands - how does a Taiwanese aftermarket caliper constitute an upgrade?
If they do conventional calipers there may be more of a market if the price is right, given that there's a lot of old bikes in NZ, probably with calipers that have seen better days. Or perhaps people wanting to upgrade to six pot calipers from older 4 pots etc.
Not to mention that Vroom already import these calipers, albeit at a higher cost.
