If we exclude the adjustment of the lever from the handlebar which is achieved with a series of clicks, the two systems that allow the lever centre-to-centre distance and stroke to be set are entirely independent of one another. This adjustment obviously does not have an impact on actual braking, but it allows the distance of the lever from the handlebar to be varied in order to adapt it to the hand, simply affecting its ergonomics.ġ3) How do the adjustments interact and how many combinations are available? Also, lever distance adjustment is predisposed for the application of the Remote Adjusting device, which allows the brake lever to be adjusted by acting on a knob located near the left hand grip, a very popular feature in racing use. With this adjustment, the distance of the brake lever can be positioned to the value the rider wants based hand size and specific preferences. Play adjustment, on the other hand, acts only on the very initial part of the stroke, the bite point.ġ2) Instead, what is the adjustment of the lever from the handlebar? It depends on the originally installed master cylinder: the standard diameters are normally smaller than those of the 19 RCS Corsa Corta, so based on the larger piston and the more favourable ergonomics, both the effective power of the system and the way in which it is perceived increase. ġ1) How does the play adjustment differ from the traditional adjustment of the centre-to-centre distance already available on the previous versions of the Brembo RCS brake master cylinder?Ĭentre-to-centre distance adjustment acts on the entire lever stroke, from the start of braking until reaching the desired pressure. ġ0) Does the RCS Corsa corta allow braking force to be increased? It is possible but strongly discouraged because by removing a hand from the handlebar (which is, after all, prohibited by the highway code), you risk jeopardising your own safety and that of the people and vehicles around you. Ĩ) How do you switch from one mode to another? Basically, with the master cylinder set to “N”, the lever has a few mm of play before the braking action begins and that translates into a softer braking bite point. In the Normal setting, the braking bite point is set in such a way to guarantee a more gradual initial phase, therefore suitable for city traffic or poor grip conditions. With the new Corsa Corta, riders can tailor the braking system response that best meets their needs, habits and sensitivity. The new feature introduced with the 19RCS Corsa Corta consists precisely in the possibility for the rider to adapt the braking “bite point” to his or her own riding style and to the asphalt and weather conditions. It means having the possibility of adjusting the inactive braking phase, in other words, the movement of the lever as the rider squeezes it before reaching the point at which the braking system begins to generate pressure.Ĥ) What are the benefits of this type of adjustment for the rider? From the forward closing of the feed hole (effective stroke), the pressure in the braking circuit will increase until reaching the desired braking effect.ģ ) Exactly what does it mean to adjust the play?
During this movement, the pressure in the braking circuit does not increase and, consequently, there will be no braking action. The play of a master cylinder consists in the movement of the piston from brake lever total release position to the closing of the master cylinder's reservoir feed hole. Unlike the 19RCS, with the 19RCS CORSA CORTA, the rider can adjust, for the first time in the world, the brake master cylinder play. 1 ) What are the differences between the 19RCS and the 19RCS CORSA CORTA?
