BREMBO RCS 16 master clutch cylinder

Brembo 16mm radial clutch cylinder PR16x16-18 RCS with ratio adjustment. The RCS (Ratio Click System) allows easy adjustment of the lever linkage to the piston rod from 16mm to 18mm, by 180° rotation of an eccentric piece in the hand lever.

Forged aluminium housing, CNC machined to reduce weight and then hard anodised for maximum durability, tightest tolerances as on Moto GP versions, for absolute reliability.

Two-piece forged hand lever with patented release mechanism, which also allows the grip section to fold away only in the event of a fall. The hand span is adjusted by means of a knurled screw running along the axis of the lever, so that a remote adjuster without a large radius in the Bowden cable can easily be connected instead.

Brembo RCS radial clutch master cylinders allow the rider to choose between power or precision in relation to road conditions, the weather, personal preference for feel and familiarity with the bike. This patented master cylinder, derived directly from the unit used in MotoGP, features an innovative adjustment system that allows the same master cylinder to cater for the many different requirements of even the most exacting customer.

Created specifically to bring MotoGP and Superbike technology to countless enthusiasts, the Brembo RCS radial master cylinder sets new standards for high performance components in terms of technology and style. The RCS system consists of an adjuster that sets the brake lever pivot distance to either 16 or 18 mm, for the perfect feedback between rider and machine.

Changing between the two settings is extremely quick: simply adjust the master cylinder pivot distance by turning the adjuster on the front of the guide lever with cam mechanism by 180° using a screwdriver (red indicates 18 mm, black indicates 20 mm). This changes braking power distribution without modifying the pure power of the system itself.

The piston, gaskets and push rod of RCS master cylinders are exactly the same components as those in the master cylinders used by practically all MotoGP and SBK riders, and are manufactured to extremely fine tolerances and ensure very low friction. The lever consists of two main components: the racing lever guide and the folding, forged lever itself.
