DESCRIPTION

S6R/T 4 PISTON BRAKE CALIPER MK2

The new and improved MK2 version of the Stage6 R/T Racing brake caliper, successor to the popular MK1 4-piston caliper. Engineering Made in Germany meets maximum braking performance. Available in Orange, Black and Hard Anodized (extra scratch resistant).

The main focus when working on the Stage6 R/T 4-piston MK2 caliper was on increasing stiffness and optimized free movement of the pistons. In addition, user-friendliness was significantly improved by integrating an additional bleeding screw so brake bleeding is now easier than ever. In addition, the new design results in a 20% larger friction surface on the brake pads.

To provide additional support for the brake pistons, Stage6 developed a special return spring that returns the brake pistons to their resting position directly after braking. The result is maximum wheel freedom when the brake lever is in its home position.

More braking power than with 2-piston calipers and improved brake modulation, i.e. the brake can be dosed a lot better. Higher heat resistance and therefore longer life than standard calipers. This can be especially important if you ride regularly or are on the sporty side.

The caliper works great in combination with the Stage6 R/T brake pumps S6-1400401 / S61400400, but can also be used with other brake cylinders or the original brake master cylinder. The radial mounting of the brake caliper allows an easy and stable installation.

Note: In combination with older caliper adapters, slight machining of the adapter may be necessary due to the new shape of the caliper.

TECHNICAL DETAILS:

  • Brake caliper 4-piston radial CNC machined from high strength 6061 aluminum
  • 25mm CNC stainless steel brake pistons
  • 20% larger friction surface on the brake pads in Vgl. to MK1
  • Special piston return spring for maximum clearance of the rim
  • Central locking bolt (Torx 27) for the brake pad with C-clip locking device
  • Separate bleed screw at the rear of the caliper for easier bleeding
  • M8 bolts, hole spacing 82mm

The brake caliper is supplied with street pads. However, we recommend using racing pads (sintered metal or ceramic) for maximum braking performance. The difference is like night and day – you can expect a perceived increase in braking power of up to 50%!

If you are looking for the best braking performance, the High Performance Ceramic Race Pads are the way to go even for street users! It’s a day/night change in performance and a real game changer for everyone! Pay attention to correctly bleed the caliper when you first mount it to ensure best performance and safe use. If you are only replacing the brake caliper while keeping the same brake line and brake pump, we recommend pressing the brake lever and keeping it pressed with the use of a elastic band until the new caliper is attached to the hose. Once the brake hose is correctly attached to the caliper, you can then release the brake lever and start the bleeding process. The dedicated bleed screw on the R/T brake caliper allows a fairly easy and quick bleeding process compared to the MKI model.

Our tip: After bleeding and assembly, the brake lever should be held for 1 – 2 hours or simply overnight in a pulled position (cable tie / rubber band). This perfects the bleeding process and noticeably improves the pressure point.

To get the most out of your new caliper and enjoy the best braking performance right from the start, we highly recommend to upgrade the original pads with one of the following options:
