Brake caliper, rear


Each brake caliper consists of a hydraulic body divided into two halves that are held together by a screw joint. Each half is supplied with a brake cylinder. At braking both pistons press the brake pads against the brake disc. It is very important that the pistons are fitted correctly after removal (see “Fitting rear brake piston”).

When the brake pedal is released the piston seals return the pistons to the brake off position.
