Abstract:
1. A caliper body for a disc brake, comprising: an elongated attachment side portion suitable for facing a first braking surface of a disc; said disc defining an axial direction parallel to a rotation axis thereof, a circumferential direction parallel to one of its braking surfaces, a disc inlet portion corresponding to the section of the caliper the disc enters when travelling, and a radial direction perpendicular to the axial direction and to the circumferential direction, the radial direction defining an outward radial direction when facing away from the rotation axis of the disc; said elongated attachment side portion comprising at least two attachment portions suitable for coupling the body of the caliper with a support thereof; said attachment portions comprising an attachment portion facing the disc inlet portion of the body of the caliper, and an attachment portion arranged at the end of the disc outlet portion of the body of the caliper where the disk exits when rotating; said caliper body comprising an elongated non-attachment side portion suitable for facing a second braking surface opposite the first braking surface of the disc; each elongated portion having at least one cylinder suitable for receiving a piston for exerting a pressure on pads housed between said elongated portions of the caliper and said braking surfaces of the disc; said caliper body also comprising at least one connection bridge arranged straddling the disc connecting the elongated attachment side portion with the elongated non-attachment side portion; wherein said elongated portions have an outer surface opposite the disc substantially inclined and rounded towards the disc in the radially outward direction so that the caliper body observed in the circumferential direction has a bulk with a rounded outer surface, and wherein at least one end bridge located on the disc outlet portion, extends from the elongated attachment side portion near to an attachment portion towards the elongated non-attachment side portion, so that at least one attachment portion is arranged at a circumferential end of the elongated attachment side portion.
