About Octyma Гальмівний супорт

Octyma — це гальмівний супорт, розроблений для високопродуктивних автомобілів. Octyma має вісім поршнів, розташованих у хрестоподібній компоновці. Хрестоподібна компоновка оптимізує розподіл тиску на гальмівні колодки та покращує ефективність гальмування. Супорт виготовлений з високоякісного литого алюмінію, а оптимізований процес лиття забезпечує довговічність. Чіткі лінії надають супорту спортивного характеру, а ретельне опрацювання деталей створює елегантний результат. Доступні чотири кольори: жовтий, червоний, карбоновий бронзовий та чорний. Кольори підкреслюють форму та визначають характер супорта.

Production Technology: Octyma caliper showcases cutting-edge design merging mechatronics knowledge, hand sketches, and 3D modeling. Its development undergoes a meticulous internal process from research to testing. Crafted from high quality cast aluminum, optimized casting ensures durability. Its striking five colors, meticulously defined with the customers specifications, is achieved through a dedicated painting technique, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and guaranteeing exceptional performance in every conditions.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge has been emerged Brembo’s values and design language with the customer specific and strong design language by working together. We were able to identify and translate the common values into strong design language that beautifully sculpted the final product.
Research: A dedicated design research was carried out on the distinctive styling cues of the customer brand, its market positioning and the values that the brand intends to communicate to the consumer. The outcomes of the study showed that details can make difference: it is known that, when choosing a car, the JLR average customer is keen on aesthetic, which also includes the braking system.
Inspiration: Brembo vision is turning energy into inspiration: we innovate to inspire the future through tailored solution. Octyma, from the Latin octo, indicates the number of pistons, but a figure of eight also symbolizes infinity and a constant flow of energy and power that represents balance and harmony. It has been exclusively designed for the new Range Rover Sport SV and Modern Luxury flagship.
Project Duration: First sketches of the project were drafted in 2018 determining the beginning project. Brembo completed the project in May 2023 with the official launch of the vehicle on the market.
Operation Flow: Octyma is a brake caliper which is coupled with Brembo discs and assembled directly on the front vehicle corner. By pressing the pedal, the fluid flows inside the caliper inducing pressure on pistons, that squeeze the pads against the disc and generate friction to slow down the vehicle. It guarantees the highest vehicle deceleration and enhances driving experience thanks to the innovative 8-pistons cross layout which optimizes pad pressure distribution and braking efficiency.
