The Galfer Shark EVO brake disc in Kashima 203mm version represents the most advanced evolution of the iconic Shark range, designed for demanding riders in Enduro, Downhill and E-MTB. This semi-rigid two-piece model combines exceptional braking power, optimized thermal management and exclusive premium finish, making it the only MTB disc in the world with the original Kashima treatment.

Technical Summary

Designed and manufactured in Galfer's Barcelona factory, the Shark EVO brings together several major innovations: a laser-cut stainless steel braking track 2.0 mm thick, a core in aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum fully CNC machined for maximum lateral rigidity, and an optimized semi-rigid connection via 8 hollow aluminum rivets of 8 mm. All this for only 195 grams in the 203mm version.

Technical Highlights

• Exclusive Kashima coating: Unique in the MTB braking market, this golden hard anodized treatment significantly improves the wear and scratch resistance of the aluminum core exposed to extreme conditions, while offering a premium aesthetic perfect for matching Fox Kashima suspensions.
• New EVO braking track: Enlarged and optimized contact surface for more powerful, consistent and progressive braking, compatible with all pads on the market, including high-power models for Magura calipers.
• Advanced thermal management: The patented Shark Fins, more numerous and redesigned, combined with multiple dissipation holes, drastically reduce operating temperature, eliminate fading (loss of power when hot) and increase pad life by up to 40%.
• Rigidity and direct transmission: The 5 mm thick core mounted coplanar with the track guarantees exceptional stability even under extreme load, while the semi-rigid connection balances responsiveness and riding comfort.
• Integrated E-bike compatibility: Magnetic housing for speed sensor, direct installation without modification on all standard MTB calipers.

Geometry and Standards
