Disk brake assembly for motorcycle
The motorcycle disc brake assembly typically consists of the following parts: Brake rotor: A round metal disc that is mounted to the wheel hub or axle, and spins with the wheel. Brake caliper: A hinged metal housing that holds the brake pads and squeezes them against the rotor to generate friction and slow or stop the wheel. Brake pads: Two flat, rectangular plates of friction material (usually made of ceramic or metallic compounds) that are held inside the caliper and pressed against the rotor to apply braking force. Pistons: Small metal cylinders inside the caliper that move outward when hydraulic pressure is applied, pushing the brake pads against the rotor. Brake hoses: Rubber or steel braided tubes that carry brake fluid from the master cylinder to the caliper pistons. Brake master cylinder: The hydraulic component that creates pressure in the brake fluid circuit, which is transmitted to the brake caliper
