Intermediate, B Group rider. I do use my rear brake, but admittedly part of the reason I’m considering the upgrade is aesthetics.

well for sure those are pretty calipers man!

And there is nothing wrong with using rear brake, dont get me wrong...it def helps settle the bike, if you use it a little bit before slamming the front coming to the end of straights! its also helpful as a very advanced tech of moving the rear end around into a corner..to turn faster and get on gas quicker!

IF i could use my rear, i would prolly practice it more (war injury)..but Ive gotten pretty fast and overcome that limitation.

Good luck, and if you do upgrade, i'm thinking your stopping power and bite back there will increase a lot....so dont go all HAM with that right foot straight outta the gate my man!

I am looking for feedback regarding “upgrading” the rear master cylinder and/or caliper, preferably to a 4-piston caliper. For those who have performed the upgrade, is it worth it? I hadn’t seen that particular caliper before and wondered if it was compatible with the V4.

Thanks for the advice. I’m trying to work on my late braking and overall braking confidence on track. I know it’s my weakness.

Have you known anybody to upgrade to a 4-piston rear caliber on the Duc superbikes?

I can see it. The minor details matter, as is the case when I mod my car(s). My bike doubles as a street/canyon bike, and I like the aesthetics of certain upgrades. That said, I do seek added performance as well.

I don't think you need more power at the rear disc unless maybe you're going to a thumb brake. Stock one is powerful enough to use it to break loose the SSSA wheel nut.
