Oliver Charlesworth uses XC discs and GPFAX pads for his road racing campaigns
Experienced bike racer, Oliver Charlesworth, competes in a wide variety of prestigious road racing championships each year.
Charlesworth has recently upgraded to run EBC Brakes’ XC discs and GPFAX pads on his Aprilia superbike, supplying him with promising results so far.
Next up was the Bob Smith Spring Cup at the iconic Oliver’s Mount road racing circuit in Scarborough, where Charlesworth came away with strong results and confidence brewing for the season ahead.
Read all about it in his own words below…
“A challenging but promising start to the season, with some clear positives to take away – especially in braking performance.
“After qualifying 7th on the Supersport grid, we showed strong potential in Race 2, moving up to 4th place early on. However, after a couple of moments in the opening laps, the decision was made to retire from the race. It was about the bigger picture – staying focused on the season ahead rather than taking unnecessary risks.”
“In the Supertwin class, we were consistently inside the top 15 and made steady progress across the weekend. The Aprilia 660 in particular is showing real promise heading forward.
“A big positive throughout was the performance of the EBC Brakes package. On both bikes, the braking was strong, consistent, and gave the confidence to push: especially important around a circuit like Oliver’s Mount. It’s a solid step forward and something we’re excited to build on into 2026…”
