Features and Specifications

This Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Caliper features a cast iron body that ensures strength and longevity under demanding conditions. The caliper uses two phenolic pistons, each measuring 46 mm in diameter, which help reduce heat transfer and improve brake fluid longevity. The floating caliper design allows for self-alignment during braking, enhancing pad wear and performance.

The inlet thread size is 3/8"-24 with a banjo fitting type, compatible with standard brake lines. The caliper comes with a bleeder screw of the same thread size to facilitate proper brake bleeding. Included mounting brackets and abutment clips simplify installation, although mounting hardware bolts are not included.

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the mounting bracket is installed as this caliper requires it for proper fitment.

Verify inlet thread compatibility with your brake lines before installation. Proper brake fluid bleeding is necessary to remove air and maintain braking efficiency.
