Detailed Product Description

This Centric disc brake caliper features a floating design with a single piston measuring 63.5 mm in diameter, constructed from steel for durability and heat tolerance. The caliper body is made from cast iron, providing structural integrity and resistance to wear. It uses a banjo-type inlet fitting with an M10x1.5 thread size, compatible with standard brake lines. The included bleeder screw also features an M10x1.5 thread, facilitating proper brake fluid bleeding during installation or maintenance. Abutment clips are included to ensure proper pad alignment and reduce noise. The caliper is finished in gray to help resist corrosion and maintain appearance over time.
