BREMBO RCS19 RCS 19 BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER FOLDING LEVER FREE SHIPPING NEW

Description: Brembo RCS19 Radial Brake Master Cylinder - Brand New, FREE SHIPPING in the Continental USA. The Brembo radial master cylinder has effectively revolutionized motorcycle braking systems over the past ten years. Designed originally for use on Racing machines, it has become more and more popular over time for Super Sport, and even Naked bikes, while retaining the identity of an out-and-out racing component, still used today in MotoGP competition. Today, bike enthusiasts everywhere can upgrade the braking system on their machines at a stroke, simply by replacing the production master cylinder with a Brembo radial, confident of the top-flight performance associated with many years experience acquired by the company in designing and engineering braking systems. Why radial? The definition indicates a configuration whereby force can be transmitted to the piston in phase with the force applied by hand to the lever, eliminating the friction that would be generated if these forces were separated. In other words, the effort exerted by hand on the lever and the force applied by the lever to the piston are both generated in the same direction radially relative to the point where the cylinder is anchored, i.e. the handlebar. With this type of construction, the master cylinder can be designed with the focus on optimizing hydraulic and mechanical ratios, and consequently on improving its performance. This means that the force applied to the lever can be converted entirely into powerful, dependable and precise braking action. For twin-disc systems; there are currently two models of Brembo radial master cylinder available: 19x18 and 19x20. The choice between the two models will be based essentially on the feel that the rider is able to get from the two solutions. The 19x18 cylinder has better modulation, given its marginally longer operating travel when compared to the 19x20, which on the other hand offers a slightly quicker response. As a general rule, the 19x18 is recommended for bikes with 4-piston calipers (diameters 32/36, 34/34 and 30/34), whereas the 19x20 is more suitable for other calipers. Brembo experience favors 19x18 for track, and 19x20 for street. Today, after 10 years as a brand leader, this legendary product has been updated with a number of significant new engineering features, all derived from MotoGP, and is now marketed as the new Racing radial brake master cylinder. Technical Data - Adjustable Pivot Distance: RCS System - with this new patented device, the rider can set the brake lever pivot point at one of two distances, 18 or 20mm, simply by turning a roller cam located on the front of the lever clevis. With the RCS Ratio Click System the change from one setting to another is simplicity itself, and the lever ratio can be adapted to the different characteristics of the braking system, the ride or the conditions: for example, dry or wet, road surfaces offering greater or lesser degrees of grip, riding style, and so on The red color of the cam indicates pivot distance 18mm, whereas the black color indicates the 20mm position. Moto GP Piston Assembly - The piston, seals and push-rod are the same as those of master cylinders used by all riders in MotoGP and Superbike competition. In practice, MotoGP and Superbike provide the ultimate test-bed for these components, given the enormous stresses involved: late and hard braking, ultra-high disc temperatures... under these conditions, the rider must be able to rely on supreme dependability and unwavering efficiency of the braking system. The master cylinder plays a key role in the braking action, and with a MotoGP piston assembly fitted, top performance will be guaranteed whatever the conditions, thanks to the extremely close machining tolerances adopted, and a faultless sliding action within the cylinder body. Master Cylinder Body - The body of the master cylinder is an aluminium alloy forging*, machined on CNC (Computer Numerical Control) equipment and weight-relieved by milling. Machining tolerances are extremely close the same as adopted for MotoGP specification so as to guarantee a perfect match with the piston, and unparalleled stroking precision. The forging process involves preheating a cylindrical metal billet to a high temperature short of melting point, so that it remains solid then, using a press of several tons capacity, driving the hot metal into a die that presents the negative shape of the finished item. The main characteristic of a forged piece derives from the way the fibers of the material are oriented, and the influence this has on the mechanical properties of the component. Forging has the effect of orienting the fibers along lines parallel to the outer surfaces, a structural attribute that improves resistance to fatigue. Accordingly, the design of the die is fundamental, in that it must emulate the finished item. The smaller the differences between blank and finished part, the better the advantages of forging will be exploited. Brake Lever - The brake lever is made up of two main components: the Racing Lever Clevis, and the lever itself, forged and hinged to the clevis. The clevis incorporates a patent system allowing angular movement only in the event that the bike should happen to fall or crash. This prevents the lever from rotating accidentally, and provides increased dynamic safety. The lever span adjustment control has been repositioned and is now aligned with the lever, so that the adjuster can also be located remotely. Operating this control, the position of the lever contact face remains unchanged relative to the cylinder body, so that the optimum operating angle ß of the push rod can be maintained (see fig E). This means that the lever can be drawn closer to or distanced from the handlebar without any adverse effect on the mechanism, guaranteeing minimal friction and zero waste of energy. The technology is the same as adopted in MotoGP. In addition, the lever is hinged to the cylinder body by way of a precision pin and bush assembly, guaranteeing optimum rigidity, better feel and especially high resistance to wear. Lever Return Springs - Two high load springs are used to ensure that the contact face and push-rod remain permanently engaged. This avoids the eventuality of wear through chatter that could be induced by vibrations from the machine, as well as introducing a further element of safety during the transition from throttle to brake, and generally prolonging the life of the various components. Brake Light Switch - A housing has been included specifically to accept the mechanical switch of a brake light circuit, when the 19 RCS is set up for street use.We are a full line Brembo Dealer - We Are Here To Help!
