The Galfer Disc Shark EVO represents the ultimate evolution in high-performance MTB braking. Launched in 2026, this next-generation disc pushes beyond the standards established by the original Shark by combining optimized thermal management, enlarged contact surface, and the exclusivity of an original Kashima coating – a world first in the MTB braking universe. Designed for demanding gravity, enduro, bike park, and E-bike riders, the Shark EVO guarantees power, consistency, and longevity in the most extreme conditions.

Kashima Coating: Exclusivity and Premium Performance

The Disc Shark EVO is the only brake disc in the world to feature the original Kashima coating, a technology previously reserved for high-end Fox Racing suspensions. This hard anodization creates an ultra-resistant layer on the aluminum body, significantly increasing resistance to wear and scratches, while offering enhanced protection against corrosion in extreme conditions. Beyond the premium aesthetic that perfectly complements Fox Kashima components, this treatment improves the structural durability of the disc without compromising its performance or lightweight design.

Advanced Technical Architecture

• Evolved Shark EVO braking track: enlarged contact surface for more powerful, consistent, and progressive braking. Compatible with all market brake pads, including the widest ones.
• CNC-machined 7075-T6 body: aerospace-grade alloy offering maximum lateral rigidity and topological optimization for perfect stress and weight management.
• Optimized semi-rigid connection: 8 mm hollow aluminum rivets ensuring exceptional force transfer, better balance between responsiveness and comfort, while limiting parasitic vibrations.
• 2.0 mm thickness: increased mass guaranteeing better thermal stability and resistance to warping during prolonged descents.

Advanced Thermal Management

The evolved design of the Shark EVO integrates more internal fins and perforations strategically positioned to maximize airflow and heat dissipation. This architecture reduces hot spots, ensures uniform thermal distribution, and drastically limits fading during repeated and intensive braking. Whether on long alpine descents, in bike parks, or during demanding enduro runs, the Shark EVO maintains consistent performance at all temperatures.

Compatibility and Versatility

The Disc Shark EVO installs without modification on all existing MTB calipers and accepts all types of brake pads (organic, semi-metallic, sintered metallic). It is also compatible with E-bike speed sensor magnets, preserving full functionality of electrical systems. Available in 6-bolt mounting, the Shark EVO comes in three diameters (180, 203, 223 mm) and three exclusive finishes (Kashima, Black anodized, Raw aluminum), offering 18 configurations to suit all setups and riding styles.
