About Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line offers a balance between fully loaded and basic caliper assemblies. This product line provides the caliper body pre-assembled with key components such as the mounting bracket, abutment clips, and bleeder screw, but excludes brake pads and mounting hardware. This approach allows for easier installation while giving flexibility to use existing pads and hardware when applicable.

Product Details and Specifications

This Centric disc brake caliper features a durable cast iron construction designed to withstand the rigors of daily driving and braking demands. The single steel piston with a diameter of 2.126 inches ensures consistent hydraulic pressure application. The floating caliper design allows for self-alignment during braking, promoting even pad wear and effective stopping power. The caliper comes painted gray and includes a bleeder screw with dual thread sizes (M7x1.0 and M8x1.25) for compatibility with various brake systems. The inlet fitting uses a bubble type connection with an M10x1.0 thread size. Mounting bracket and abutment clips are included, but mounting hardware and brake pads are not part of this assembly.
