Brembo has decided to take a step beyond its braking systems to enter a field that, until now, only some competition brands had explored: telemetry accessible to any fan. Thus, the Italian firm has presented TrackTribea plug-and-play system that acts as a virtual team leader.
Its objective is clear: to offer professional analysis tools to all types of riders, regardless of the motorcycle they use and, furthermore, without the need to equip brakes. Brembo.
This is Brembo’s TrackTribe telemetry system
Brembo TrackTribe combines compact hardware with an advanced application that processes telemetry in real time. As it could not be otherwise, the entire project has been developed with the participation of renowned pilots such as Andrea Doviziosowhich has collaborated both in the testing phase and in the validation of the algorithms. By the way, its commercial launch is scheduled for April 2026 and it was officially presented at the recently closed EICMA in Milan.
At the heart of the system is a six-axis IMU powered by the motorcycle’s own battery. Added to this is a pressure sensor that is installed in the brake hose, which allows it to accurately record when and how the rider brakes.
This information, together with the integrated GPS, creates a complete x-ray of each lap: braking points, corner entry speed, accelerations, transitions, consistency, and variations between consecutive turns.
According to Daniele Penatiresponsible for special projects at Brembo Racingthe data is processed using an algorithm that interprets the telemetry from a didactic perspective. That is, it doesn’t just show numbers: it indicates what can be improved, where time is being lost and why. The idea is that any pilot, even without previous experience analyzing data, can progress in a clear and structured way.
Obviously, the app TrackTribe It is the other half of the system. It includes a sessions section where multilayer graphs, comparative lap analysis and automatic sectoring are shown. In addition, users can also add external parameters, such as tire pressure, ambient temperature or suspension settings.
In addition, it is integrated with ANT+ sensors to record heart rate, a tool already common in sports such as cycling or athletics, but still little exploited in amateur motorcycling.
Video recording is another strong point. If the user mounts a camera on the motorcycle, they can upload the recording to the app and synchronize it with the telemetry. The process is simple: simply mark the moment when you cross the finish line, and the software automatically aligns the data with the images. This allows you to see, in parallel, what happens at each point of the circuit and how it is related to the position of the body, the line or the management of the gas.
To ensure system reliability, Brembo has validated TrackTribe on 150 circuits around the planet, from MotoGP tracks to more modest facilities. The development of the database was carried out with pilot testers of Brembo and with professional athletes who collaborate with the brand. The company has confirmed that it will continue to expand the catalog of tracks as users request it.
The installation of the kit will be done exclusively through authorized distributors, in order to avoid incorrect assembly that compromises the safety of the motorcyclist. Although the final price has not been revealed, the company has already announced that it will consist of a fixed cost for the hardware, and a subscription to access all the functions of the application.
The brand has announced that the system will initially be launched in Italy, Germany, England, France, the United States and Spain. Brembo points out that TrackTribe It is intended exclusively for track use, and recommends disconnecting the GPS module when the motorcycle is traveling on the road to avoid unnecessary recordings and preserve the user’s privacy.
With TrackTribe, Brembo enters fully into the world of digital driving analysis, a field that until now had been reserved for competition teams. The company maintains that improving times is not incompatible with driving safer: the more the rider understands what is happening on the motorcycle, the more confidence he will have and the smaller the margin of error will be.
If the system delivers as promised, it could become a reference tool for thousands of pilots looking for more than just riding fast: understanding why they ride, how they ride, and how they can do it better.
