A cycle braking system is provided where the system comprises a brake sphere engaged with a shaft adjacent to a wheel of a cycle and a brake caliper, where the brake caliper is mounted to a cycle's chassis and aligned around the brake sphere rotor. In one embodiment, the cycle braking system further comprises brake pad(s) with an inner side and a contact side, a brake housing having the brake pad(s) positioned between the caliper and the contact side facing the brake sphere; and the brake caliper connected to a cycle's hydraulic lines.

The disclosure provides a bicycle caliper including a casing assembly and a plurality of pistons. The casing assembly has a first fluid inlet, a second fluid inlet, a first fluid channel, a plurality of piston chambers, and a second fluid channel. The first fluid channel has a first connection opening and a second connection opening opposite to each other. The first connection opening and the second connection opening of the first fluid channel are respectively in fluid communication with the first fluid inlet and the second fluid inlet. The first fluid channel penetrates through the piston chambers. Two opposite openings of the second fluid channel are respectively in fluid communication with the first connection opening and the second connection opening of the first fluid channel, and the second fluid channel does not penetrate through the piston chambers. The pistons are respectively and movably disposed in the piston chambers.

A system comprises a slave cylinder for a motorcycle. The slave cylinder may include a rod with a height which is hydraulically adjustable by a hydraulic pressure adjuster. A motorcycle slave cylinder is also provided which includes a rod having a height. The motorcycle slave cylinder also includes a hydraulic pressure adjuster. The hydraulic pressure adjuster hydraulically adjusts the height of the rod above the motorcycle slave cylinder.

Example bicycle disc brake rotors are described herein. An example disc brake rotor described herein includes a core having a brake surface core portion and a single-piece brake track coupled to the brake surface core portion. The brake track is constructed of stainless steel. The brake track includes a first track on a first side of the brake surface core portion, a second track on a second side of the brake surface core portion, and a connecting portion extending over a peripheral edge of the brake surface core portion between the first and second tracks.

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 brake rotor for a bicycle has a brake body formed of a first material and a cooling element with a cooling body, at least part of which is formed of a second material that has a higher thermal conductivity than the first material. The brake body has a generally annular shape with a first axial contact surface. The cooling body is coupled to the first axial contact surface. The cooling body may be in contact with the first axial contact surface around the brake body for a majority of a circumference of the heat dissipation region. The cooling body may be attached to or be an integral part of a carrier coupled to the brake body.

The invention relates to a drive unit for fitting or retrofitting a two-wheeled vehicle (1), preferably a bicycle, having an electric motor which is designed as a disc motor (10), comprising a rotor disc (11) having permanent magnets (12) and an annular stator (13) with windings, which generate an electrical alternating field for driving the rotor disc (11), wherein the rotor disc (11) can be fastened non-rotatably to a receptacle (6) on the front or rear wheel of the two-wheeled vehicle (1) and the annular stator (13) can be fastened to a frame part (4, 5) of the two-wheeled vehicle (1). For tool-free dismantling the annular stator (13) can be unfolded in the circumferential direction and can be removed or pulled off from the rotor disc (11).

The present invention provides a wheel hub for a vehicle, including: a) a wheel axle defining an axis of rotation for the wheel; b) a hub body rotatably coupled to the axle for rotation about the axis of rotation, the hub body defining an internal cavity; and, c) a braking assembly, including: i) at least one first annular plate disposed within the internal cavity about the axle, the at least one first annular plate rotatably fixed with respect to the hub body so as to rotate therewith about the axis of rotation; ii) at least one second annular plate disposed within the internal cavity about the axle and adjacent to the at least one first annular plate, the at least one second annular plate rotatably fixed with respect to the axle, and at least one of the first and second annular plates being slidably movable within at least part of the internal cavity; and, iii) an actuator disposed within the internal cavity and configured in use, to cause an axial load to be applied to the slidably movable plate to thereby cause the at least one first and second annular plates to frictionally engage thereby applying a braking load between the hub body and wheel axle so as to brake the wheel of the vehicle.

A bicycle brake is provided, including: a clamping arm, having a slide slot; a braking assembly, having an axle portion, the axle portion being slidably arranged within the slide slot; and an elastic member, abutting against the clamping arm and the axle portion so that the axle portion has a tendency to move toward a direction normally.

A manual brake structure is employed to stop a bicycle or motorcycle and contains: a casing, a body, a roller, a first brake line, a second brake line, and a third brake line. The casing includes a first cap and a second cap. The body is housed in the casing and includes a first accommodation portion and a second accommodation portion having two first apertures. The roller is housed in the first accommodation portion and includes a trench. The first brake line is bent in half, fitted into the trench, and connected with a first brake and a second brake of the bicycle or motorcycle. The second brake line includes a first stop block and couples with a first controller of the bicycle or motorcycle. The third brake line includes a second stop block and couples with a second controller of the bicycle or motorcycle.
