The T-Drive 245x6mm rear kit delivers immediate, confident bite from cold and in the wet, shedding over 500 g of rotating mass in the process, so every transition from brake to throttle feels lighter and more natural than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSICOM DMC (Double Matrix Composite) technology: short carbon fibres consolidated in a carbon and graphite matrix for a high, consistent friction coefficient across all conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImmediate bite from cold and in wet or damp conditions — no narrow temperature window required, unlike pure carbon discs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 400 g total weight, saving over 500 g versus the OEM rear disc for noticeably reduced gyroscopic and rotational inertia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermally robust and thermal-shock resistant: handles repeated hard stops without fade or structural stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompletely corrosion-free: no rust, no oxidation — resistant to salt, water and road grime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT-Drive floating design with a 5-axis CNC-machined, black anodised flange for precise engagement and minimal heat transfer to the wheel hub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDMC Carbon-Ceramic: Performance Without Compromise\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSICOM's Double Matrix Composite is the result of 15 years of continuous development and testing. Unlike single-matrix compounds, DMC reinforces the carbon-ceramic structure with short carbon fibres bound within both a carbon and a graphite matrix. The result is a friction surface that delivers a stable, easily modulated brake feel across a wide operating range — whether you are trailing the brake through a cold wet morning commute or scrubbing speed into a tight chicane after a long straight on track.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the Ducati Panigale V4 platform, this matters enormously. The rear brake plays a pivotal role in stabilising the chassis on the way into corners, smoothing the transition from deceleration to lean. With a consistent, predictable friction coefficient available from the very first application, the rider gains genuine confidence and flow — not just at race pace, but on every ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWeight Reduction and Chassis Balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt approximately 400 g, the SICOM T-Drive rear disc saves over 500 g compared to the standard Ducati item. Reduced rotating mass at the rear wheel translates directly into lower gyroscopic and rotational inertia, making the Panigale easier to tip in, quicker to change direction and noticeably more responsive when transitioning from braking to acceleration. The bike simply feels freer — a quality that is immediately apparent and builds rider confidence over the course of a full day in the saddle or a full session on circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eT-Drive System Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe T-Drive architecture pairs the DMC carbon-ceramic rotor with a precision 5-axis CNC-machined flange, finished in black anodised aluminium. The 6 mm rotor thickness is selected specifically for maximum rigidity and consistent pad contact, while the low thermal expansion coefficient of the carbon-ceramic compound ensures predictable behaviour as temperatures rise. The floating mounting system reduces heat transfer to the hub and accommodates minor rotor movement to maintain even pad wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit is designed and tested as a direct replacement rear brake disc for the following models:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDucati Panigale V4 (2018–2024)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDucati Panigale V4 S (2018–2024)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDucati Panigale V4 R (2018–2024)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease include the following information in the NOTES field at checkout so that the correctly matched sintered brake pads can be supplied with your order:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour specific model: Panigale V4 \/ V4 S \/ V4 R and model year (2018–2024)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear brake caliper model fitted to your motorcycle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePosition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear (Rear Kit)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDisc diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e245 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRotor thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial \/ Technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSICOM DMC Carbon-Ceramic \/ Double Matrix Composite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 400 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight saving vs OEM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eover 500 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlange\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5-axis CNC-machined, black anodised aluminium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProperties\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh rigidity, thermal-shock resistant, corrosion-free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1x SICOM T-Drive Carbon-Ceramic rear disc (245x6mm) + dedicated high-performance sintered brake pads\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"SICOM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53169036296458,"sku":"SY-SICOMCAR-646994-01","price":1309.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/RearCarbonBrakeDiscV4.png?v=1780819900","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/sicom-carbon-ceramic-rear-brake-disc-t-drive-245x6mm-kit-ducati-panigale","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
