2026 CIAACE/Yasn Show Exhibitor Highlight | ALCON: Born on the Track, Redefining Street High-Performance Brakes with “Monoblock Forging”

In the performance tuning market, competition in braking systems has long surpassed the level of “just enough,” entering an ultimate battle of responsiveness, pedal feel, heat fade, and lightweight design. While most brands are still balancing craftsmanship and cost, British brake engineering experts ALCON chose to showcase their latest solution at the 2025 Dongguan AIT Tuning Show — the CAR99 & CAR44 monoblock forged caliper kit.

This is not just a product iteration; it is also a concentrated expression of ALCON’s forty-year legacy of track engineering culture.

1. New Product Analysis

CAR99 & CAR44 — What Makes “Monoblock Forging” So Valuable? 

At the 2025 Dongguan AIT Tuning Show, ALCON highlighted the CAR99 (front six-piston) and CAR44 (rear four-piston) kits. Their standout feature lies in the use of “monoblock forging” technology.

• From “Two-Piece Assembly” to “Monoblock Forging”: Unlike the common two-piece forged design, monoblock forging allows the caliper to be machined from a single piece of aerospace-grade aluminum, completely eliminating joints and bolts. This enhances overall structural rigidity by approximately 30%.

• Direct Benefits: Braking feel becomes more immediate and linear; the more stable structure provides superior long-term fatigue resistance; at the same time, further weight reduction helps improve suspension responsiveness.

Industry Perspective: In the high-end braking market, monoblock forging represents the pinnacle of manufacturing expertise. By applying this technology to the CAR99 & CAR44 series, ALCON aims to reinforce its image of seamlessly transferring track-proven technology to the street.

Brand Depth 

Champion Heritage — ALCON’s Deepest Moat

Every ALCON product is backed by 40 years of accumulated track engineering experience.

• Starting at the Peak: In 1984, brand co-founder John Moore developed the braking system for the Audi Quattro S1 rally car, helping the team secure a double WRC championship and establishing ALCON’s technical authority under extreme conditions.

• Dominating Every Arena: From F1, IndyCar, and WEC to Formula E, ALCON has left its mark on the world’s top motorsports. Notably, it was the exclusive brake system supplier for Formula E, providing complete solutions for the unique energy recovery and brake balance requirements of electric vehicles.

• Technology Feeding into Street Cars: The rigidity standards and heat dissipation designs used in ALCON’s new products are largely derived from its R&D experience with top-tier hypercars and race cars such as the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro and the Ford Mustang GT3.

At its core, the competition in braking performance is a contest of engineering heritage. What sets ALCON apart is that it is not a brand “developing products for the consumer market,” but an engineering organization that civilizes race-proven technology for street use.

A Product Matrix 

A Performance Blueprint Covering Every Driving Scenario

Beyond the headline new products, ALCON’s 2025 Dongguan AIT booth is worth exploring as a comprehensive guide to high-performance braking selection. Its clear product matrix demonstrates the brand’s precise understanding of user needs:

• Street Series: From entry-level CAR97/98 to mid-level RC4/RC6, and up to the top-tier CAR99/44, all models feature high-temperature coatings that ensure performance while meeting daily-use durability and aesthetic requirements.

• Track Series: From track-day entry models TA6+/TA4+ to competition-level CRB332, CRB355, CAR23 R5, CAR89 TCR, and others, these calipers generally use anodized finishes, stainless steel, or even titanium ventilated pistons — all engineered for ultimate heat dissipation and lightweight performance.

The value for dealerships and tuning professionals lies in the fact that, whether a customer’s use is daily street driving, track-day experiences, or professional competition, ALCON can provide precisely matched solutions, effectively avoiding customer complaints and performance bottlenecks caused by mismatched products.

Value of the CIAACE（Yasn Show） — A Prime Opportunity to See the “Braking Ceiling” Up Close 

The show is not only the launch platform for ALCON’s new products but also a rare opportunity for in-depth technical exchange within the industry. 

• See for Yourself: Touch and inspect the monoblock forged calipers firsthand, and experience the difference in craftsmanship and quality.

• Technical Q&A: As ALCON’s exclusive distributor in China for nearly 20 years, Geshitu’s technical team will be on-site to answer questions about product compatibility, installation, and setup.

In today’s era of increasingly refined performance upgrade demands, ALCON continues to lead the development of braking technology with its deep track heritage, clear product hierarchy, and ever-pushing manufacturing limits. For industry professionals, visiting the ALCON booth at the 2026 Yasn Beijing Show is not just about product selection and procurement—it is an opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of the future trends in high-performance braking. 

We warmly invite you to the ALCON booth at the 2026 CIAACE Yasn Beijing Show to experience firsthand the extraordinary appeal of championship-winning braking technology.
