TK Dischi Freno SSP 5.5 Brake Disc Kit for Yamaha YZF-R6 (2006-2016)

Machined in Italy from certified materials and refined through MotoGP and WSBK development programmes, the TK Dischi Freno SSP 5.5 brake disc kit sets a new standard for front-end feel on the Yamaha YZF-R6. At 5.5 mm thick across a 320 mm rotor, these discs deliver the kind of consistent, fade-free retardation that separates precision-engineered Italian components from off-the-shelf alternatives — whether you are chasing lap times or committing to a late trail-brake on a Sunday road.

Key Features

• Italian-manufactured from certified alloy stock, ensuring dimensional consistency and material integrity across every disc in the kit.
• 5.5 mm rotor thickness optimised for the YZF-R6's front-end geometry — reducing rotating mass while maintaining the structural rigidity demanded by hard braking.
• Angled drilling pattern channels heat away from the friction surface, achieving up to 20 % lower operating temperatures through uniform heat distribution.
• Reduced rotating mass sharpens turn-in response and lightens steering effort, translating directly into more agile, precise control.
• Extended brake pad life as a result of the drilling geometry — pads bed in evenly, outgas consistently, and resist glazing under repeated hard use.
• Choice of inner carrier colours — hard-anodised, black, red, or blue — so the kit complements the rest of your YZF-R6 build.

Build Quality and Materials

TK Dischi Freno constructs the SSP 5.5 kit using certified Italian materials validated against the stresses of circuit racing. The rotor rings are precision-machined to a 34 mm friction ring width, giving the pads a generous contact area for confident modulation from corner entry through to apex. The angled drilling is not a cosmetic afterthought — each hole is positioned to maximise heat evacuation without creating stress risers, a geometry refined through racing data rather than guesswork.

The inner carriers are available in four anodised finishes: hard-anodised (the most durable surface treatment for riders who prioritise longevity), gloss black, red, and blue. Please note that lead times may be slightly extended for red and blue carrier options.

Performance on Road and Track

The 5.5 mm disc thickness was chosen specifically for the SSP class of competition — a discipline in which production-based machinery must brake hard and repeatably, lap after lap. On road-registered YZF-R6s the same technology translates into consistent lever feel across varied conditions, including wet roads, where uniform braking without excess pressure is a clear safety advantage. The kit ships as a matched pair — left and right — ensuring the front axle load is balanced and both discs wear at the same rate.
