Technical Specifications and Features

This floating disc brake caliper is constructed from cast iron, providing strength and heat resistance necessary for effective braking. It features a single steel piston with a diameter of 38mm (1.496 inches), which ensures consistent pressure application to the brake pads. The caliper includes a banjo-type inlet fitting with an M10x1.0 thread size, facilitating secure hydraulic line connections. The bleeder screw, essential for brake fluid maintenance, is included and threaded M10x1.25. The gray finish offers corrosion protection, extending the caliper’s service life. Additionally, the package includes the mounting bracket and abutment clips, but mounting hardware and brake pads are not included.

Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation to remove air and maintain optimal brake performance. Verify the inlet fitting and bleeder screw thread sizes (M10x1.0 and M10x1.25 respectively) to ensure compatibility with your brake lines and tools.
