BREMBO Corsa Corta RR Race Replica
Radial Brake Master Cylinder - 17mm
Many new features have been introduced for this new radial brake master cylinder, the closest to those used in top motorbike racing. Machined from billet, like the master cylinder used in MotoGP and SBK, the design of the new Brembo 17RCS CORSA CORTA RR has been modified to make it lighter and even more similar to the racing versions. The hard oxidised finish, in titanium grey, ensures outstanding wear resistance and extremely low friction between moving parts. It comes in a darker colour than the previous version, precisely because of the type of treatment, making it even more similar to the versions used in Moto2 and Moto3.
The floating piston and gaskets are the same as the components used in MotoGP, as are the bleed and brake fluid delivery circuit couplings.
These are inclined by over 30° to facilitate bleeding of the master cylinder. The lever, modified in shape, retains its characteristic feature that has made it famous among enthusiasts: it allows the riders to tailor the “bite point” exactly where they want it, with an easily accessible selector on the top of the master cylinder itself. The selector operates a cam mechanism to let the user choose between three different responsiveness settings. In the Normal setting, indicated on the master cylinder with the letter N, the bite point starts more gradually, making it suitable for
city riding or braking in poor grip conditions.
In the Sport setting, indicated on the master cylinder with the letter S, the beginning of the bite point is shorter than that of the N setting. This setting produces a more dynamic response suitable for sportier riding. Lastly, in the Race setting, indicated on the master cylinder with the letter R, the position of the cam mechanism shortens the initial stage of the bite point even further to produce the same immediate response of the master cylinders used in MotoGP, letting the rider reach the bite point of the brakes instantaneously. This setting is ideal for use on the racetrack, where every hundredth of a second shaved off a lap time counts.
By simply changing from one setting to another, the rider can configure the braking response and feel of the bike immediately and predictably.
The lever assembly can be replaced without removing the RCS (Ratio Click System) system
from the master cylinder and, therefore, without altering the settings made during assembly
of the master cylinder in the Brembo Racing workshop.
