Details on Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line is designed to provide a semi-assembled solution that simplifies brake system repairs. This product line includes calipers that come with essential components such as mounting brackets and abutment clips, reducing the need for additional parts during installation.

The caliper’s bleeder screw, included for brake fluid bleeding, has a 10mm thread diameter (M10x1.0). The piston diameter measures 45mm, providing adequate clamping force for the brake pads. The caliper comes in a gray finish and includes the necessary mounting bracket and abutment clips, though mounting hardware bolts are not included.
