Polini - complete braking system
Italian scooter specialist Polini Motori has announced a new and complete braking system . The system includes an 11 mm right and 13 mm left side pump , four-piston brake caliper , brake line , M8x1 connection screw , adapter and a radial support for Piaggio Zip SP . The four-piston caliper is machined from billet and made of hard anodised aerodynamic aluminium . " The development of the brake calipers from 2 to 4- pistons has many advantages ," says Polini . " It gives 30 % additional friction surface on the brake pads , reducing the temperature peaks for improved reliability and durability ." The 24 mm pistons increase the braking force , and the caliper design has been engineered to maximise stiffness and reduce volume . It can be installed both on the right and left side by just inverting the connection and bleeding the front and rear side . The 8 mm radial connection has an 84 mm centre holes distance . It comes with high-quality sintered pads , but carbon-ceramic mixture pads are separately available . By using Polini ' s application-specific support bracket , the caliper can be installed with the Piaggio Zip SP fork . The caliper can be connected to the new Polini
pumps with the machined-in 8 mm union . The level position can be adjusted to adapt to the rider ' s needs . An adaptor for 10 mm brake lines is separately available .
