Brembo 16 RCS Corsa Corta Radial Brake Master Cylinder

Brembo 16 RCS CORSA CORTA Radial Master Cylinder

Brembo 16 RCS CORSA CORTA Radiale Master Cylinder is the 16 RCS Evolution, the 16 RCS with BITE POINT Adjustment.

MotoGP riders use master cylinders with calibrated and customized IDLE STROKES: now, with the new 16 RCS Corsa Corta, you can do the same.
Through the new adjuster, it is possible to choose the Bite Point (where the lever starts braking) then, the braking feeling.

16 RCS Corsa Corta is full adjustable:

1. BITE POINT (IDLE STROKE):
   Three different Maps, R-S-N, the selector operates a cam mechanism to let the user choose between three different responsiveness settings.
2. LEVER POSITION:
   Click by Click You can adjust the Distance of the Lever from the bar and adapt it to your hand or to your needs.
3. RCS (Ratio Click System):
   Lets the rider select a fulcrum-to-piston distance of 18 or 20 mm by simply turning the adjuster screw on the front of the guide lever by 180° with a screwdriver. 

The selector operates a cam mechanism to let the user choose between THREE different responsiveness settings:

• R “RACE” : the position of the cam mechanism shortens the initial stage of the bite point even further to produce the same immediate response of the master cylinders used in MotoGP, letting the rider reach the bite point of the brakes instantaneously. This setting is ideal for use on the race track, where every hundredth of a second shaved off a lap time counts.
• S “SPORT” : the beginning of the bite point is shorter than in the N setting. This setting produces a more dynamic response suitable for sportier riding.
• N “NORMAL” : the bite point starts more gradually, making it suitable for braking in poor grip conditions (rain).

Bite Point is the new feauture, that is added to the two existing setting options:

• Lever Position (Distance from bar) Adjustment
• RCS (Ratio Click System): This device allows to modify the pump lever ratio on two values, 18 or 20 mm, by simply rotation of the eccentric drive placed on the front of the lever drive. By the RCS system – Ratio Click System – it is very easy to pass from one configuration to the other one, modifying the lever ratio to adjust it to the different characteristics of the braking system, of the usage and driving, such as, for ex., the wet or dry conditions, asphalt with more or less grip, circuit with strong braking.
  The red spot on the eccentric drive identifies position 18mm of the lever ratio, while black indicates position 20mm.

Micro-switch
A special housing has been designed for the rear stop light mechanic micro switch, for street usage of the master cylinder. The micro-switch is supplied in the same master cylinder package.
The switch works "normally open" when the lever rests; by pressing the lever it closes the circuit. The switch can not replace a switch that works "normally closed", such as BMW switches, Yamaha equipped with cruise control (ex MT-10 and Tracer)

19RCS , 17RCS, 15RCS, 14RCS ? These numbers identify piston diameter:
