Rear Brakes


Rear Brake Description





The rear brakes each comprise of a hub mounted, single piston caliper assembly and a solid disc. The inboard side of the disc is protected by a mudshield.
When hydraulic pressure is supplied to the caliper, the piston extends and forces the inner pad against the disc. The caliper body reacts and slides on the guide pins to bring the outer pad into contact with the disc.
