In hydraulic brake system, operating force applied to the brake pedal is delivered to the hydraulic unit which generates hydraulic pressure (using the Pascal’s law) for braking. Braking force is ...

Typical, medium-duty, hydraulic brake system with front discs (red circuit) and rear drums (green circuit). Boost, or assist (blue circuit), is provided by an engine-driven pump, although the power ...

Hope brakes have a bleed port (although not a threaded one as with SRAM and Formula brakes) on the caliper, but there is no ...

An electro-hydraulic braking system is one that effectively does away with the direct connection between the brake pedal and the car's braking system. These set-ups, which are the first step towards a ...

One reason that today's vehicles are the safest in history is that, since 1968, all vehicles come equipped with dual brake systems to ensure that if one set of brakes fails, the other set can still ...

As cars, trucks, and SUVs become increasingly electrified, their hardware will also slowly head towards a more digital era. Braking systems, up until recently, have all mostly relied on an antiquated, ...

The main engineering challenges in any braking system are to withstand the extremely high temperatures involved, remove the very large amount of heat generated during hard deceleration and minimise ...

When we stopped at the TRP Brakes booth at the Outdoor Demo in Vegas before Interbike 2012, we inquired about the HyWire, the innovative hydraulic disc brake levers with TRP’s own electronic shifters ...

The Sea Otter Classic Expo is just a day away, and there’s quite a number of new cyclocross products expected to be unveiled at the Monterey, California event. Several of these new products are ...

In June, BikeRadar first broke down the details on Shimano's new electric/hydraulic levers, which weigh in at 255g each and which can be paired with hydraulic brakes (468g) and a Di2 drivetrain – at ...
