I hadn't seen these before. CNC Racing bring the full MotoGP bling! :oops:;)

Apparently they attach using built-in wheel spacers.

And no, I haven't ordered them. 🤣

I don't mind the idea of cooling ducts to help remove brake dust, which I'm told is the only benefit when not racing, but it's not something I've considered adding.
 
yikes between this and the steg tail you are getting into severe bike dress up. WSBK are a good target for out bikes not Moto GP

These and the steg tail parked up outside Starbucks would get the ..... for sure... 🤣

WSBK seem to be using Brembo with plenty of cooling fins on them and I don't remember seeing cooling ducts on the Ducati factory bikes?
 
ive found the air duct channel ones to be a noticeable difference in both brake consistency and pad life .. yes a bit more dust gets blown over your wheel!
 
in the original picture I would have spent my money on better discs first.....

So you think they are worthwhile for pad life and keeping calipers a bit cleaner?
 
I did the Full Six. Great quality and finish. I got/like the gloss. The only thing I had to do was to remove the clear coat resin off of the aluminum spacers to ensure the calipers fit correctly and on a flat plane as OEM. I did this with a small Dremel and a small sanding disc to very carefully remove the resin without thinning the aluminum mounting spacer and yet blend the resin smoothly into the carbon. The mounting spacers were the correct thickness, +-.001" but the resin caused them to be thicker and did not allow the caliper to fit flat and perpendicular to the rotor when the caliper bolts were tightened causing a creaking sound and visible flexing with the front brake lever held tight. I liked the longer and flowing look better than the DP by a long shot. Even the best aftermarket parts require a little finesse. Only problem now I want the gloss front and rear fender from Full Six and clear gloss the matte Akra shields. LOL
 
Putting clear coat on the spacers seems a bit amateur to me. The carbon quality is good though.
 
Look at the spider ones…. The spacer and mounting bracket are separate to the air channel.
There is a filter in the channel
downside you can’t buy the vulnerable breakable bit separately.

Also they are a little wide I think they could be more narrow at their inlet area so they are inside the front spindle bung to protect them on a low side.
 
I will ask the real function of the ducts as soon as I meet the guys.
If they fit them in real race, there should be a GOOD performance or valid reason.

regarding this ones, I am afraid that the motogp-ones have a more complex aerodynamic function than only to work for the brakes and the road bikes still need to have a setup for that.

I would guess for a trackday bike they are more bling than function.
