Can never understand why ppl fit wavey discs? Less braking area?

Yea I get that, I had a Yamaha YZ with these and it made the brake slightly worse :apologetic:

I think Galfer claim that they have a larger surface area for cooling...

With some notable exceptions, in my experience the prettier a thing is, the less work they do.

I was wondering the same thing for years. I believe looks is the reason. I think they are not as efficient as the normal discs. I might get convinced when they enter WSBK and tested there but I do not think they ever going to pass the WSBK standards.
