ACCOSSATO MASTER CYLINDER - FORGED - PAINTED - REVOLUTION LEVER; 16mm BORE 16 or 18 RATIO

The Accossato painted range - are forged body, painted in a range of different colours for road and trackday use - these master cylinders do not have a built in brake light switch, so if required, a pressure switch must be purchased separately - or alternatively, check out the "ready to brake" range of master cylinders, which come with a built in brake light switch

After selecting suitable brake pads for your application, upgrading your master cylinder is the next logical progression for upgrading your braking system. Selecting a properly sized, radial master cylinder is often the most noticeable improvement, to stock braking systems.

At TBR, we have tested a large variety of master cylinders, from all major brands, with championship winning racers in the UK club circuit scene. Accossato forged master cylinders are used extensively in the UK track and club race scene, with many a championship won.

It's important to select the correct bore and lever ratio, for your application. a larger lever ratio gives a firmer feel with less travel, at the expense of braking force, and vice versa

For road bikes with single 4 pot calipers, the following general rule can be followed:

• the caliper has 4 pistons 32mm or above - select 16x18
• each caliper has 2 pistons 32mm or above and 2 piston 30 or below - select 16x18
• each caliper has 4 pistons 30mm or below - select 16x16

Some bikes with axial calipers, suffer from quite severe flex issues and the above rule doesn't always apply - generally we would advice going 1 ratio higher than would be selected for radial calipers

for race and track use, there are more in depth requirements due to heat produced during extreme use - for race use, we strongly advise the CNC billet master cylinder

As with many things in life, there are always exceptions to the rules - if you are unsure and need specific advice please get in touch via the contact page

Note:

Aftermarket master cylinders use a different thread pitch banjo bolt, to OEM master cylinders, remember to add one to your order if needed!
