Brembo SSP 5.5 Brake Disc Kit for Yamaha YZF-R1 (2007–2014) – Part No. 208973720

Brembo's SuperSport heritage is built into every dimension of the SSP 5.5 brake disc kit, a floating-mount front disc set engineered specifically for the Yamaha YZF-R1 in its 2007–2014 generations. The 310 mm discs carry the unmistakable Brembo SuperSport design language — a lineage drawn directly from World Superbike competition — and deliver consistent, fade-resistant braking whether you are pushing hard on a track day or threading through demanding road corners.

Key Features

• Floating-mount SuperSport construction absorbs thermal stress and maintains consistent pad contact across the full braking zone
• 310 mm disc diameter with a 5.5 mm friction ring thickness, matched to the OEM fitment envelope of the YZF-R1
• 34 mm friction ring width and a 132 mm inner ring diameter maximise swept area for progressive, powerful stopping
• 5-hole mounting pattern on a 150 mm bolt-hole pitch circle ensures a direct, play-free fit
• Works at its best paired with Brembo brake pads, completing a system engineered as one unit
• Designed for high-load intensity — track use, sport riding and demanding road conditions all within the design brief

Design, Finish and Heritage

The SSP 5.5 sits within Brembo's SuperSport family, a range whose design philosophy traces back to the Italian manufacturer's decades of involvement at the front of Grand Prix and Superbike racing. The floating carrier and friction ring arrangement is not a cosmetic choice: it allows the ring to expand under heat independently of the carrier, preserving disc geometry and eliminating the judder that fixed discs can develop under repeated hard stops. The result is a component that looks as purposeful as it performs — a clean, open design that lets heat escape and telegraphs quality at a glance.

Performance on Road and Track

Precision braking depends on dimensional consistency, and Brembo's manufacturing tolerances are among the tightest in the aftermarket. The 5.5 mm friction ring thickness of this kit is optimised for the caliper clearances of the YZF-R1, maintaining full pad contact and predictable lever feel across the temperature range you will encounter in real riding. For track-day regulars who push into heavy braking zones, the floating design's thermal management is a genuine advantage over standard fixed discs.

Fitment and Compatibility

This kit is developed for the following model:

• Yamaha YZF-R1 — model years 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014

Always verify your specific variant and wheel specification before fitting. For best results, renew brake pads at the same time as brake discs and bed the new discs in carefully according to Brembo's recommended procedure.
