Brembo caliper, worth the price?
BlackBillet caliper, a new color for the 220 Series of brembo CNCCaliper.
The price is high, but the red Brembo letters on the black body are cool.
The motorcycle brake consists of many parts, from the master cylinder to the hose, caliper, pad, and disc rotors, and each is customized in combination with the others. In fact, this may be the most difficult part of motorcycle customization.
The most important point of the brembo Billet caliper is its resistance to heat and stable braking force even after repeated hard braking. In particular, the movement of the piston when the brake is released is outstanding.
The high performance related to hard braking seems to be the essence of this Caliper, so if it is used for riding without hard braking, it may become nothing more than a dress-up part.
Finally, I would like to list the good and bad points of this Caliper.
good point
1.High heat resistance and hard brake durability.
2. Lightweight
3.Piston's move away from Rotor is excellent.
4.Looks cool.
5.Many options for Brake Pads.
6.Can be installed on any car model as long as it is MountSize compatible.
A bad point
1.price
2.Standard Pad doesn't work very well.
3.Gold amount for Overhaul is high.
4.Requires dedicated Mount Bolt.
I would recommend it to those who can do overhaul by themselves and use it for a long time.

notebook
It was my first time to install a custom one except for the Slip-on Silencer, but it was very convenient to have everything at Webike. I don't think the large ring will be the same, but since the brembo installation was my goal, I'm happy with that.
Except, memorandum.

Remove the hose from the MASTERCylinder side first, and install a new hose immediately so that the installation position will not be lost.
Hose mouth cure and dustcloth to prevent sagging.
Seal tape is used for banjo bolt.
Molybdenum grease is used in the Screw section.

Repeat until the Brake lever becomes firm.
When the brake lever becomes hard, bleed air from the Caliper side and the MASTER side so that the Fluid Tank will never be empty.

Installed on a GSX-R1000R 2019
I wanted to try a proper brembo because the OEM brembo had a bad reputation and I wanted to see what a proper brembo was like.
It was a considerable expense for the sole purpose of satisfying that curiosity…
Below is a comparison based on an OEM Szumbo with Metallica Pad.
In the selection process, the product is a 4-pod with a different diameter of Φ30/34 compared to Suzumbo's Φ32 4-pod with the same diameter.
but in the end, the total area of Piston is almost the same, so there is no problem without MASTER change.
In fact, the softness of the Touch after the replacement was about "the difference in the accuracy of the air bleed? The difference was about "the difference in the accuracy of air venting?
Incidentally, I think Φ19/18-20 is appropriate to match with MASTER of Other Brand Product.
In the case of the Suzumbo displacement, Offset is 14mm.
Also, it is stated that the Caliper Mount Bolt does not fit the diameter of the seat unless it is a special product, but the SEA BASSOEM Mount Bolt for SEA BASSOEM can be used without any problem.
The serviceability of the banjo bolt is free from the stressful Bleeder bolt of the Szumbo, but on the other hand, the banjo bolt hole and the Caliper Mount Bolt hole are close together, so care must be taken when tightening the banjo bolt, otherwise the Caliper Mount Bolt will be inaccessible. However, the banjo bolt hole and the Caliper Mount Bolt hole are close together.
Quality of the exterior is a bit subtle considering the price.
Although the cut-outs have a high quality at first glance, a closer look reveals some anodized irregularities, small wounds, and protruding logo paint, which may be slightly disappointing when viewed as design parts.
However, it is not hard to understand if you look at it as a hard-edged component that has been designed with function in mind.
The key is that the feel of the product is excellent.
I think the absolute value of the braking force is more than the same etc. while the Control at the beginning of the grip is easier to do.
Considering the fact that the comparison is with Metallica Pad, "brembo" is indeed a good thing.
Well, I guess it depends on your sense of value whether you can find the value of less than 200,000 yen in this difference in experience;

Pricey, but cool!
It is a pontoon on CBR600RR 2021.
Spacer and others are not required.
However, the OEM Caliper has a different banjo bolt position than the OEM Caliper, so the length of the hose is slightly different.
At the same time, we replaced the hose with a stainless steel mesh hose, but since the hose for the car model is still too long, we purchased a slightly shorter hose separately for the part that connects to the Caliper.
Aluminum forged cut-out black alumite body with Red lettering "Brembo" Very cool that it says "I'm not a fan of this"!
The quality is by far better than the cheaper cast brembo, so if you have the budget, we recommend the CNC brembo.
It is also recommended for those who are concerned about the weight under Spring, as it seems to be lighter than P4 due to a newer design than P4, although it is in the same price range as P4 of the same CNC.
I wish it were cheaper, but it is brembo, so I guess it can't be helped.

Red Logo on the shaved Black.
Installed on MT-09
Master Cylinder：GALE SPEEDVRC Φ 17.5
Hose：Buildaline
Offset adapter：PLOT
The installation itself was easy, but it took some time to bleed the air since the Hose is with it.
Manufacturer recommends the Φ19 Master Cylinder, but I think Gail's Φ17.5×Ratio18mm is a good brake with good control.
By the way, if you use Ratio16, it won't stop for lack of capacity.
If you prefer Snap, I think you'll like the Φ19.
