Stock Stelvio Front Brake Disc

[canuck1969]

Can someone with a 2015 or 2016 Stelvio check to see what brand the front brake discs are. Apparently what the dealers are now peddling as OEM parts are some Chinese companies discs. My 2012 has Grimeca and my friends 09 is running Brembo discs as stock discs. Did they really change to a cheap Chinese brand on the newer bikes. They are branded as CNLZ. Never heard of them and the only reference I can find for them is a chinese brake company.

Not sure it matters, since (if you're replacing them) you can choose from a number of good sources at very reasonable prices. OK, at least not gouging prices. My Norge now has EBC rotors, which were less expensive and which I like better than the factory rotors (which in my case were, I believe, Grimeca but may have been Brembo).

Given what rotors are made of and how they are made, I suspect that an extremely large percentage of all cars, trucks and motorcycles on the road have Chinese-made rotors. That type of foundry work is dominated by Chinese manufacturers.

My '12 is fitted with Grimeca.

They started in 08 with brembo, from 2010 it was grimeca. After Grimeca stopped to exist(2011?), and old stocks ran out, they let the same disks produce in China. They look the same as the Grimeca, without Grimeca name on it.
The Grimeca disks were cheap, the chinese are sold for the same price. What is almost half of what the brembo's cost.

Now factory is open again with new owner. On the website no mention about that:-)
