What is Brake Caliper
A Brake Caliper is a mechanical component in a disc brake system that houses the brake pads and facilitates the conversion of hydraulic pressure into mechanical strength. It is typically positioned around the brake rotor or disc and is responsible for applying the necessary strength to slow down or stop the rotation of the wheels. The Brake Caliper plays a crucial role in ensuring safe and efficient brake, providing the driver with control and certainty on the road.

1 Year
Installation
1. Take out the wheels
2. Clean brake parts and caliper
3. Replace the caliper
4. Complete
Although the brake caliper is relatively a simple moudle, we still strongly recommend you go to a professional mechanic to install it.
Material
The use of cast iron and aluminium alloys provides a good balance of weight and break performance. Same as parts, no extra stress would be applied to the brake boosting mounting.
Function of Brake Caliper
The Brake Caliper is responsible for applying strength to the brake pads, which in turn press against the brake rotor or disc. This action creates friction, slowing down or stopping the rotation of the wheels. The Brake Caliper houses the brake pads and utilizes hydraulic pressure from the brake fluid to activate the brake mechanism.
