GBrakes — Sandro Milesi, Tim Bennett & Tim Benson #44 | Fourth Street Live Podcast
Episode #44 | GBrakes — Sandro Milesi, Tim Bennett & Tim Benson | Built in Nevada, Trusted Worldwide
In this episode of the Fourth Street Live Podcast, Jacob sits down with Sandro Milesi, Tim Bennett, and Tim Benson from GBrakes—one of the most respected names in motorcycle braking, proudly rooted right here in Northern Nevada.
From a family legacy that started in Europe in the 1950s to building a dominant brand in the U.S., this episode dives deep into the story behind GBrakes, the evolution from their previous brand, and what it really takes to build high-performance motorcycle components that riders trust with their lives.
They break down:
* The origin of GBrakes and the transition from a 30+ year legacy brand
* Why quality matters more than price in braking systems
* The real difference between cheap rotors and high-performance engineering
* The truth about Harley-Davidson braking performance and upgrades
* How “wave rotors” actually work and why they changed the game
* Behind-the-scenes of racing, MotoGP influence, and Battle of the Baggers
* Why Nevada matters—and building a brand rooted in local culture
This episode blends hardcore motorcycle tech, racing insight, and real entrepreneurial grit—from rebuilding a company in under 12 months to landing in national magazines and dominating the industry.
If you ride, build bikes, or care about performance—this is one you don’t skip.
