THE NEW ENDURANCE CALIPER IS READY TO DEBUT AT THE BOL
D'OR RACE - THE FIRST “24 HOURS” BREMBO CALIPER
The new Brembo “Endurance 24hrs caliper” will make its debut this weekend during
the first EWC race which will take place at Magny Cours. This new model intended
specifically for Endurance races, is the first motorcycle caliper designed by Brembo
with a 24 hours event in mind.
Brembo takes to the track for the 2013 Endurance World Championship (EWC ) with a brand new
brake caliper. Offering teams a product which embodies the most innovative concepts applied in
the field of two-wheel competition that has not been present until now. In January 2013 Brembo
tested the first prototypes under track conditions and found their technical specifications to besuperior to the previous calipers.
Created with the aid of special topology optimization software, the new Racing product can be
fitted with the majority of forks currently in use. The caliper stands out for its superior new technicalcharacteristics, especially the diameter of the pistons, as well as the stiffness and lightness of thebody. In addition, the external profile of the caliper has been studied in detail in order to avoid
complications during wheel changes. Another enhancement is reflected in the geometry of theinternal fluid holes, which are designed to maximize the bleeding procedure.
To optimize the brake feeling in punishing conditions such as those of an Endurance race, thepiston diameters are different to each other and reduced. This specification ensures that different
riders racing on the same bike during the same event are immediately able to get the ride feelingand brake in total confidence. Particular care has been taken over the design of the caliper, whichaims also to improve the rotation of the wheel and increase the life of the brake pads.
To guarantee the best Performance, Brembo recommends to fit the new Endurance 24hrs caliper
with the very latest Brembo Racing dedicated pads in Z03 compound, as well as the use ofEndurance Brembo Racing discs and a specific radial brake master cylinder already present in theBrembo catalogue.
