Polini - complete braking system
Italian scooter specialist Polini Motori has announced a new and complete braking system. The system includes an 11 mm right and 13 mm left side pump, four-piston brake caliper, brake line, M8x1 connection screw, adapter and a radial support for Piaggio Zip SP. The four-piston caliper is machined from billet and made of hard anodised aerodynamic aluminium.
"The development of the brake calipers from 2 to 4-pistons has many advantages," says Polini. "It gives 30% additional friction surface on the brake pads, reducing the temperature peaks for improved reliability and durability."
The 24 mm pistons increase the braking force, and the caliper design has been engineered to maximise stiffness and reduce volume. It can be installed both on the right and left side by just inverting the connection and bleeding the front and rear side. The 8 mm radial connection has an 84 mm centre holes distance. It comes with high-quality sintered pads, but carbon-ceramic mixture pads are separately available.
By using Polini's application-specific support bracket, the caliper can be installed with the Piaggio Zip SP fork. The caliper can be connected to the new Polini pumps with the machined-in 8 mm union. The level position can be adjusted to adapt to the rider's needs. An adaptor for 10 mm brake lines is separately available.
