Brembo say that their new 14 RCS master cylinder “allows riders to choose between heavy or gradual braking depending on road conditions, personal taste and the overall feel of the motorcycle”.
Featuring a 14mm diameter floating piston, it can be used on most single disc braking systems with 2-piston fixed or floating calipers, and a micro-switch kit for brake light actuation and a special connection fitting for the hydraulic hose mean it can also be used on the most popular scooter models with single 2-piston fixed caliper, or floating, with single disc.
The RCS system (Ratio Click System) is the “pioneering adjustment that enables the rider to achieve his ideal riding style. With the 14 RCS pump it is like having two master cylinders in one product. The 14x18mm enables more gradual braking and requires a longer lever stroke, while the 14x20 mm generates a more classic road riding feeling.
“However, the configuration can be changed in a matter of seconds by setting the ratio distance between values of “18” or “20” by simply turning the regulator on the front face of the steering arm 180 degrees with a screwdriver. The cam system (red marking when set to 18 mm, black marking when set to 20 mm) adjusts the distance between the pivot point and mounting point on the lever pushrod by 2mm. This redistributes the braking force without altering performance.”
