Description
caliper upgrade kit Piaggio / Vespa
Upgrade for the front brake: 4-piston brake caliper made of CNC-milled aluminum plus matching brake pump with 16mm piston. Suitable for many 50cc - 300cc Piaggio / Derbi / Aprilia / Vespa models such as Vespa GTS, GTV, Primavera, Sprint / Aprilia Sportcity / Derbi Boulevard / Gilera DNA, Runner / Malaguti Madison / Piaggio Beverly, Fly, Hexagon, Liberty, Skipper, TPH, X7, X Evo etc.
This 4-piston brake caliper, crafted from high-quality CNC-machined aluminum, delivers significantly more braking power, greatly enhancing overall driving safety.
Advantages of the 4-piston brake caliper compared to the original 2-piston brake caliper
The original front brake comes with a 2-piston caliper, which is often known for being neither particularly responsive nor easy to modulate. Upgrading to a 4-piston caliper increases the pressure on the brake pads and leads to a significantly better braking performance, better modulation and a more precise braking point than a standard brake caliper. The upgrade kit ensures greater safety, especially when riding downhill, at high speeds and in stop-and-go traffic.
4-piston brake kit - flexible installation
The hollow bolt and bleed screw can be swapped to offer maximum flexibility when connecting the brake line. A suitably dimensioned 16mm piston brake pump is included in the package. The combination screw on the brake pump can also be used for bleeding.
The brake calliper fits on the original base plate, so no additional adapter is required. An M10x1.25 banjo bolt is also included. Depending on the vehicle, a suitable brake line for M10 banjo bolts may be required.
Note: We recommend changing the brake fluid and bleeding the brake system when fitting a new brake calliper.

Brake caliper
The brake caliper is an important part of the braking system. The brake pads are located in the caliper and are "clamped" by the caliper piston. The piston is driven by the brake fluid and presses the brake pads against the brake disc.
The brake caliper must always be in good condition and must not leak. If you want to repair the caliper on a small budget, you can use one of the many caliper repair kits from major brands like Brembo, AJP, Nissin, etc.
Racing caliper
After tuning measures, where the performance of a motorcycle is increased, the brakes must also be readjusted. You can install oversize kits instead of the original brake discs, or use racing calipers with multiple or larger pistons. Some tuning calipers are made of materials that allow better heat dissipation.
Especially for enduro and motocross bikes, there are various caliper upgrade kits. There are also complete brake kits with brake disc, brake pads, caliper, brake line and brake master cylinder.
For 50cc scooters and motorcycles, we offer 2-piston calipers that considerably improve braking performance. Most calipers are universal and are adapted to a specific vehicle via a brake caliper adapter.
Changing a brake caliper
To install a brake caliper, you need relatively few tools. However, you should make sure that the copper washers on the banjo bolt that holds the brake hose are in perfect condition so that no fluid can leak out.
You'll also need new brake fluid, as you'll need to bleed the brake system. You must remove all air bubbles from the system; you can bleed manually or with a special brake bleeder.
