Detailed Product Features and Specifications

This Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Caliper 141.62100 is engineered with a floating caliper type that uses two phenolic pistons, each measuring 45mm in diameter. The caliper casting is made from aluminum, which reduces weight while maintaining strength and heat dissipation. It includes a mounting bracket (part number 147.62099) and abutment clips, but does not come with pads or mounting hardware. The inlet fitting uses a banjo style with an M10x1.0 thread diameter, matching the bleeder screw thread size for compatibility with standard brake lines. The gray color finish helps resist corrosion, extending the caliper’s service life.
