A disc brake having an arrangement to prevent or inhibit fitting of first and second brake pads individually or in combination with friction material facing away from the rotor. A first formation of a first brake pad interacts with a corresponding first formation of a brake actuation mechanism for the first brake pad to be fitted in the first mounting structure. A second formation of the second brake pad interacts with a corresponding second formation of a carrier for the second brake pad to be fitted in the second mounting structure.

To provide a rear wheel braking device for a motorcycle that can reduce an unsprung mass and the number of pieces of components on the rear wheel side of a shaft drive type motorcycle. In a rear wheel braking device for a motorcycle transmitting a drive force of a power unit of a motorcycle to a rear wheel through a drive shaft that extends in a vehicle longitudinal direction, the drive shaft includes a propeller shaft that is connected to a rear end of an output shaft through a universal joint, the output shaft protruding to the vehicle body rear side from a case member of the power unit. A brake disk is attached to the output shaft, the brake disk being braked by a rear wheel brake caliper. The rear wheel brake caliper is fixed to a bracket that is arranged in the case member, and is disposed on the vehicle body upper side of the brake disk.

A retainer for a segmented annular heat shield of a wheel includes a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a body extending between the first end and the second end. Both the first end and the second end are configured to be coupled to at least one of the wheel and a torque bar. Further, the body includes opposing longitudinal sides configured to respectively engage and secure a respective heat shield segment of the segmented annular heat shield. Also, the retainer includes a cover coupled to and extending over at least the body, with an air gap being defined between the body and the cover.

A brake dust particle filter, for catching particles produced when braking, for a disc brake assembly with a brake disc and a brake caliper has a ring segment-shaped housing with a housing interior that accommodates the brake disc. The housing has two housing sidewalls that are axially spaced apart and a housing peripheral wall extending radially outwardly in a circumferential direction of the housing. The housing peripheral wall is arranged between the two housing sidewalls. At least one tongue projects with at least one radial component from the housing peripheral wall into the housing interior. The tongue has a flat cross-sectional shape and at least one base surface facing the housing peripheral wall, a cover surface projecting into the housing interior, and at least one side surface. The tongue supports a filter medium and is covered at least at the at least one side surface with the filter medium.

A disc brake that includes a caliper having a housing, an actuation mechanism, and a cover plate. The cover plate is releasably mounted to an outboard facing surface of a housing of the caliper by at least one fastening member that is insertable in a generally inboard direction and removable in a generally outboard direction.

A rotor cover is provided that limits contact of a disc brake rotor with an object flying from a radially outer side of the disc brake rotor. The rotor cover covers a disc brake rotor, which is rotatable relative to a bicycle frame. The rotor cover includes a circumferential part that at least partially covers a circumferential edge of the disc brake rotor at a radially outer side of the disc brake rotor. The circumferential part includes at least three first pieces facing the circumferential edge of the disc brake rotor, and first openings provided between two adjacent ones of the first pieces in a circumferential direction of the disc brake rotor.

A guard plate for a disk brake of a vehicle includes a base element having at least one fastening section for arranging the base element in relation to a brake disk of the disk brake and at least one extension element. The at least one extension element may be movable relative to the base element and is configured to be moved and fixed between an initial position and at least one extension position.

A brake assembly for a wheel on a vehicle includes a brake disc, a caliper assembly operably coupled to the brake disc, a brake line fluidly coupled to the caliper assembly, and a brake shield positioned adjacent a portion of the caliper assembly. The brake shield includes a first arm positioned on a first side of a portion of the brake disc and a second arm positioned on a second side of the portion of the brake disc. The brake disc further includes a recess configured to receive a portion of the brake line.

A cover panel (1) for a disc brake (2) for covering an installation opening (5) of the disc brake (2), wherein the disc brake (2) comprises a brake carrier (13) and a brake caliper (3) sliding on the brake carrier (13) axially in the direction of an application side (Z) or axially in the direction of a rim side (F).

A protective cap for floating brake caliper guides may have a cup-like body intended to be associated with a floating brake caliper closing a sliding seat of a guide of the floating caliper. The cup-like body is made of plastic material reinforced with glass fibers.
