Flexira monobloc four-piston aluminium compact caliper with steel inserts
Designed to fit inside wheels even in tight spaces
Flexira was conceived and developed to be able to be inserted in tight spaces, maintaining the functionality and performance typical of a fixed caliper, but at the same time having dimensions similar to those of a floating caliper.
Aluminium is the reference metal, gravity cast in a specific alloy using shells; only on the external side of the caliper are the steel inserts added to this, which increase the characteristics of mechanical strength, reducing the axial bulk of the caliper.
These cylindrical inserts can be seen on the front surface of the calipers where the logo is usually applied. The Brembo compact caliper has 38 and 42 mm diameter pistons; a pad with a 72 cm2 surface and 11 mm thick friction material.
This significant reduction of the vehicle’s unsprung weight allows fuel consumption, at the same time increasing the vehicle’s dynamic efficiency and reducing moments of inertia.
