Actually happened ten days ago. It's highly unlikely to affect us but... interesting anyway.

Avoid if you have an aversion to management-speak that, when you break it down, means less than sod-all (except "redundancies will follow").

It's still an Italian-owned company so the Chinese are not in the mix, yet. Here's a list of the other companies Brembo own besides their new acquisition, Ohlins:

Royal Enfield use a mixture of Brembo or ByBre - it seems to depend on what's in the parts bin at the time. ByBre are the older models of Brembo brakes but (allegedly*) are still made to the same standards laid down by the parent company.





* okay, that's not really fair. I have ByBre brakes on my Bullet and they're actually pretty good.

All of the G310 series singles and some C scoots from Beemer use ByBre, short for "By Brembo." They're even a "radial" design.
