In the world of high-performance motorcycle braking, few names carry the weight of history like the Milesi family. Now, after three decades of operating as the U.S. arm of Galfer Spain, Giocar America is writing a new chapter with the launch of GBrakes. This isn’t just a name change—it’s the culmination of more than 70 years of braking innovation, craftsmanship, and rider-first engineering.
GBrakes represents the fusion of racing heritage and modern technology. From its roots in 1952 Barcelona, when Maffio Milesi founded Galfer, to the 1992 U.S. expansion led by Giorgio Milesi, the Milesi family has always been on the front line of braking evolution. Now, under the leadership of third-generation CEO Sandro Milesi, GBrakes aims to raise the bar even further—delivering cutting-edge braking components for V-Twin, Sport & Street, Dirt, and Dual Sport motorcycles.
GBrakes: Precision Performance and Custom Braking Solutions
Riders and builders will find a full range of premium components, including precision laser-cut brake rotors, steel braided lines, high-performance brake pads, and complete braking kits—all developed with attention to fit, function, and finish.
The newly launched website, www.GBrakes.com, functions as a one-stop online destination for riders looking to upgrade or customize their braking systems. A standout feature is the online custom configurator, allowing users to design made-to-spec brake lines and explore unique rotor styles tailored specifically to their ride.

Built for the Road, Track, and Every Mile In Between
From weekend warriors to seasoned racers, GBrakes is engineered to exceed the demands of today’s performance riders. The company’s launch catalog supports a wide range of applications and styles, including sportbikes, cruisers, ADV machines, and dual sports. And with trusted distribution partners like Parts Unlimited, Drag Specialties, and Western Power Sports, GBrakes components are now more accessible across a national network of dealers and custom shops.

Sandro Milesi’s vision for GBrakes is grounded in heritage but propelled by innovation. “We’ve taken everything we’ve learned over the past seven decades from my father and grandfather and evolved it into something new,” says Milesi.
With its deep bench of technical experience, refined product offerings, and a relentless pursuit of braking excellence, GBrakes is not just the next chapter in a storied legacy—its focus is to be the new standard for motorcycle braking in America.
