Ride Eng. Brake Calipers and Oversized Rotor Kits

Ride Engineering adds 270mm Oversized Rotor Kits to Product Line: MSRP $274.95

In addition to our efforts to improve motorcycle handling, Ride Engineering wants to become a bigger factor in performance braking. Ride Eng. has added Over-sized Rotor Kits to our list of high quality performance products. Using a Galfer Wave Rotor and our own precision machined hanger bracket, this full floating system is made to last and offers approximately a 20% increase in stopping power.  The alloy used in this rotor is approved by many factory teams made from the proper blend of iron and stainless steel for optimum braking performance. These kits are available for late model KXFs, YZFs, CRFs and RMZs. Rotors or brackets can also be purchased separately.

Ride Engineering Billet Front Brake Calipers are in stock and available for sale: MSRP $374.95

In addition to our efforts to improve motorcycle handling, Ride Engineering wants to become a bigger factor in performance braking. A benefit of our new brake caliper is stronger, more progressive braking (more power, less of an on/off sensation) with less hand pressure. This was achieved by removing the flex associated with the stock casting; by increasing the piston size; and by allowing more air to pass through. When comparing to a 270mm oversized rotor kit, the feel is more linear and more connected to rider input even though the overall stopping power is a little less. Maybe the calipers best attribute is that it can be combined with an over-sized rotor kit to give factory stopping power that is very user friendly (Novices can use it too). The caliper must be used with an 11mm master-cylinder and an aftermarket hanger bracket (any brand seems to fit). Hangers for both stock rotors and 270mm rotors are available from Ride Engineering for an additional $49.95. Star Racing/Valli Motorsports has been racing with this product since Anaheim I last year. The riders love the feel so much that none of them will ride their practice bikes without it!
