The QUAD QHD-1 "Sting" Dual piston caliper & Master Cylinder
( BMC ) is a high performance, race proven brake with superb
bite and deceleration characteristics. The two piece caliper
body has been designed on the "skeletal" principle to remove
excess material in low stress areas and increase surface area
with the result that the caliper runs very cool no matter how hard
the brakes are used. The 23mm diameter resin pistons ensure a
superb clamping force capable of high deceleration figures under
extreme loads and cool running.
The sleek looking BMC incorporates a two piece design allowing
them to be mounted either side of the handle bars for preference.
