FWIW I just spoke with someone who sounded like a jefe in BrakeTech. I'd called them to see if they're still working on AXIS/CMC™ Rotors which would be significantly lighter than stock. (Remember, I'm an old fat guy who is anal-retentive about his bike's weight!)

Summary: They're still working with a large, credentialed aerospace fabricator type corporation who is also considering getting into the production of composite discs for cars.

In the mean time they're also devoting substantial resources into upgrading their other product lines which might give us an alternative to KTM PP rotors. Maybe we'll soon have a better choice!

They have their axis irons available for the 1290 and have for quite some time now.

They've been working on the next gen CMC's for so long now its not even funny.
