Your questions, answered
An axial brake caliper, also known as a side-mount caliper, is a type of brake caliper where the mounting bolts are aligned parallel to the plane of the disc and the wheel. This means the caliper is attached to the mounting bracket in a way that the bolts run in the same direction as the rotor.
While radial calipers may offer greater stiffness and performance in high-performance applications, axial calipers are often sufficient for most daily driving conditions and provide excellent value for money.
Brembo axial brake calipers, like all brake components, require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance. This includes periodic cleaning, checking brake pads, and replacing brake fluid according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Regular maintenance is crucial for calipers to perform at their best. Here are some maintenance tips:
Inspect the brake pads regularly for wear and replace them when necessary.
Check the brake fluid level and quality periodically, and replace it according to your motorcycle manufacturer’s recommendations.
Clean the caliper thoroughly during each pad change to remove any debris or brake dust.
Lubricate the piston seals with a suitable brake assembly lubricant to prevent sticking or seizing.
Avoid using aggressive cleaning agents that can damage the caliper’s finish or components.
Remember, always refer to the Brembo official maintenance guide or consult a professional mechanic for specific procedures related to your motorcycle model.
