Page 6 All BERINGER brake calipers are : Machined from aeronautic aluminium billet (better resistance to deformation in high temperatures) Machined on CNC machines precision and quality with aeronautic manufacturing process) This optimized manufacturing process allows the very best materials to be used (unlike cast calipers) together with closely controlled material thicknesses, so that these calipers are actually lighter than OEM calipers fitted by motorcycle manufacturers. The pistons are stainless alloy, which isolates the caliper from the heat generated by the pads (stainless alloy only conducts one thirteenth of the heat conducted by aluminium) and also eliminates any possibility of corrosion. The setting over of the pistons against the pressure center of the pads allows a constant and regular wear of the pads. The EXCEPTIONAL RIGIDITY of these calipers is partly due to the machining technique used, and partly due to the method of assembly of the two parts of the calliper : this minimizes the longitudinal opening of the calliper, when working. The consequences are : incisive braking with a very short response time, constant lever and constant lever travel. Each type of caliper is specifically designed for each motorcycle. The caliper is mounted directly on the fork without adapter and so ensures a perfectly rigid fastener very close to the fork sleeves. The original master cylinder is suitable, despite its disadvantages, because the great gain of rigidity and precision of the caliper minimizes the brake fluid volume required for braking. BERINGER calipers are available in several types to answer to any kind of use : BERINGER 6 piston calipers : the 6-PISTON technique enables a small diameter to be used (27 mm), which reduces the caliper width (60 mm), while maintaining excellent piston guidance inside the cylinders (good guidance is the result of a high piston height/bore ratio). BERINGER 4 piston calipers They have a classic guiding of the pads. Intented for small and middle-engined sport bikes, for Supermotard or for bikes which does not need to dissipate great braking energy, these calipers represent an economic option to the 6 piston calipers while maintaining excellent quality, weight and performance characteristics . BERINGER 2 piston ultra light calipers: 305g are intented for competition or sport bikes. They are granted the technological innovations of his cousins with 4 or 6 pistons. Their main use is replacing the rear calipers to improve the rear braking on to the maximum of its possibility: rear braking for competition (superbike and endurance) rear braking for sport, highway and tuned bikes front braking for race scooters direct mounting on fixing with center distance of 84mm (as italian bikes) PRICE : MCR AEROTEC type: The AEROTEC caliper was developed from the knowledge acquired from different competitions in which B ringer has been involved. Thanks to innovative patents and technical solutions, this caliper has the advantage of reacting more quickly (reduction of hysteresis) and not causing taper wear of brake pads. Performances are better, but this is not the only advantage. They bring an exceptional feeling to the braking. See the characteristics page 7. You will find the AEROTEC technology in : The AEROTEC 6 piston calliper (with two pads) The AEROTEC radial 4 piston caliper The 6 piston AEROTEC type is available for the last applications and the Supermotard bikes and will progressively replace the 6 pads famous BERINGER calipers. The new radial 4 piston calipers present the same specifications as the 6 piston AEROTEC calipers, only the fixing on the fork is a radial type. CALIPERS : a high technology product
