A Revolution in Motorcycle Brakes

Posted by Ainsley Aiken on February 26th, 2019

Introduction

The piston in the master cylinder is moved in a direction parallel to the lever travel in radial cylinders. This helps in crisp and consistent braking. Riders prefer Radial Master Cylinder Brakes for its improved feedback as compared to other variants. Radial master Cylinders allows the adjustment of lever positions and the linkages, thus offering the desired mechanical advantage. In motorcycle racing, braking happens several times per lap and the feel and feedback of the braking systems make all the difference between winning and losing.

Revolutionized Concept

Over the years, Brembo has revolutionized the concept of the radial master cylinder with its innovations. The technical solutions adopted in the making of Brembo Radial Master Cylinders are directly based on the master cylinders used in Moto GP. Brembo Master Cylinders allow utmost efficiency to the riders by providing the bite point at the exact location desired by the rider. This is achieved by an easily accessible selector on top of the Brembo Radial Master Cylinder.

Get the pressure you desire out of the brakes

Brembo Radial Master Cylinders features RCS (Ratio Click System). This allows the rider to alter the fulcrum-to-piston distance according to his by adjusting the screw in front of the guide lever. This feature alters the division of the braking force without compromising on the performance of the power of the system. This improves the riding experience by providing the biker with total control of the bike and tailoring the braking experience according to the riding style, type of roads and weather conditions.

Get three different ride modes

Brembo Radial Master Cylinders has the unique function of letting the user switch between three different ride modes by altering the responsiveness settings of the brakes. The three modes are Normal setting, Sports setting and Race setting. The Normal setting is denoted by the letter N on the Brembo Master cylinder. It is suitable for riding in the city and braking with poor grip conditions. On the other hand, the Sports setting is indicated by the letter S. This mode produces a more dynamic braking response suitable for a sportier riding experience. Lastly, the Race setting, indicated by the letter R, produces the same immediate response of the master cylinders used in Moto GP.

Conclusion

Brembo Master Cylinders have thus revolutionized the riding experience in both city riding and motorsports. Bringing in the technology used in Moto GP races, to street riding, Brembo Radial Master Cylinders have gained immense popularity among the people.
