RE: Hayes calipers now on 2021 R1250R - 2

So apparently there is a known issue with the seals on some Hayes calipers. Presumably these will all be fixed under warranty, and the issue resolved at the point of manufacturing so that it happens no more. Lets hope nobody has an accident because of.
But once it's sorted, is there any disadvantage of not having Brembo ones? Apart from the brand name. It's not like you get to admire them while they're in use is it?

They may not in the US but in Europe they are being rolled out on most of BMW bikes.

I would be surprised if BMW used Hayes again.

It surprises me that BMW Motorrad can't come to an agreement to put their name on Brembo calipers.

We just bought a new '21 Tesla Model Y Performance. It has huge red calipers on all four corners that say Tesla on the side facing the street. They are in fact, Brembo calipers.

Boxerboy, ha ha when i had a pushbike it did road, hill, gravel, school, & paper round etc sad to say i did not pass my 11 plus ( i didnt discover i was dyslexic till my mid forties) so both my elder bros got new racing Coventry eagles i got a secondhand sit up & beg bike that nobody had ever heard of. story of my life till I started on motor bikes & boy Ive had a balll
sorry going off on an age related tangent

The first time I came across Hayes brakes was when they came on my 2012 Zero electric motorcycle. Two years later Zero switched to Nissan calipers and the following year they moved on to J.J. Juan brake components, which Zero is still using. While they work OK, they are not as good as the Nissan stuff and nowhere near as powerful as the Brembo brakes on both of my BMWs.

BTW, my KTM 390 Duke uses ByBre brake components, which are the discount Brembo brand, which are manufactured in India, I believe. They work very well on that bike. Of course its 370 pound weight does help when braking hard.

Practical Sportsbike have just tested the new S1000R, they were less than complimentary about the Hayes calipers!

My 2021(picked up today) 1250 RS SE has a Brembo rear branded caliper and BMW branded front calipers.

I believe Brembo also makes brakes for Harley and Harley puts a cover over them to get the look. BMW has put 6 piston monobloc calipers on their cars which were BMW branded but looked exactly like Brembos. I think the decision was made based on something else besides branding.

According to the Hayes website, they became the exclusive supplier for HD.

Is it not traditional that HD's don't stop very well. in which case, a perfect match?
