The radial brake master cylinder is one of the most requested upgrades by sports motorcyclists and track riding enthusiasts.
But what is it exactly? How do you choose the right model for your motorcycle? In this guide we explain everything you need to know to make an informed purchase.
What is a radial brake master cylinder?
The radial brakemaster cylinder is a component of the braking system that is distinguished by its operating scheme. The piston acts in a radial direction (i.e. perpendicular to the handlebars) rather than axial. This allows:
- greater braking power,
- a quicker and more progressive response
- improved sensitivity in braking modulation
Not surprisingly, it is the preferred choice in competitions and high-performance motorcycles.
How to choose the right radial brake master cylinder?
1. Piston diameter
The internal diameter of the brake master cylinder (e.g. 16 mm, 19 mm, etc.) directly affects the force applied and the sensitivity of the brake:
- 16 mm: greater sensitivity, suitable for systems with 2-piston calipers
- 19 mm: higher power, suitable for systems with 4-piston calipers
2. Lever centre distance
Accossato radial brake master cylinders are available with different center distances (18 mm, 20 mm, 18/20 adjustable).
A shorter wheelbase increases modulation, while a longer one makes braking more direct.
3. With or without fluid reservoir integrated
- Brake master cylinder with separate fluid reservoir are lighter and more professional
- The versions with integrated fluid reservoir are more compact and easier to install on road bikes
Why choose an Accossato master cylinder?
Accossato is an Italian brand that has been producing racing components for over 50 years. Our radial brake master cylinders are made of CNC aluminum alloy, ensuring resistance, precision and low weight. Furthermore:
- Each pump is individually tested
- Available in different configurations (lever colors, adjustments, wheelbases)
- Compatible with most sport and naked bikes (Yamaha, Kawasaki, Ducati, etc.).
