By the sounds of it it has a Brembo Radial Master Cylinder fitted, Radial Master Cylinders are meant to give better feel as the actuator is more direct or 'radial' acting, and more braking power for less lever inout / pressure, providing its of the right spec... Usually something like 16mm bore for 1x 4 Potter or 2x 2 potter... 19mm for 2x 4 potter or 2x 6 potter... Some have other actuation adjustment, such as pivot distance... over just span/reach of lever. |

It wont do much on it's own,it really needs a Caliper and disc upgrade to match, I use 16mm (I think) plus Braking 4 pot and 320 wavy at the moment,but the Brembo Mc has powered a Beringer system on my bike in the past as well. As Paul says it gives you more feel,more scope to adjust the span should you wish to just have a couple of mill travel before you plant your face into the road.... :blink: |
