noise-damping prop erties.
The use of six-piston, alumi num
monobloc brake calipers on the
front axle and four-piston units at
the rear ensures extremely high
brake forces which, cruc ially,
are exceptionally consistent. The
pedal respo nse is fast and precise
with only moderate input required.
All the necessary ingredients
are there fo r a short b raking
distance, even in the toughest
conditions. Moreover, safety
under braking at high sp eeds is
increased, thanks to the excelle nt
fade resistance of PCCB.
The key advantage of PCCB
is the extremely low weight
of the brake disc, which is
approximately 50 -percent lighter
than standard discs of similar
design and size. As well as
enhancing performance and f uel
economy, this represents a major
reduction in unsprung and rotating
mas ses. The consequence of
this is better roadhold ing and
increased comfort, particularly on
uneven roads, as well as greater
agility and improved hand ling.

Please note that circuit racing,
track-day u se and other forms
of performance driving can
significantly reduce the service
life of even the most durable
brake pads and discs. As with
conventional high-performance
braking systems, we recommend
that all brake components be
professionally inspected and
replaced where necessary
after every track event.
