Rear brake caliper advice

Steven31371 said:

You don’t need a more powerful rear brake, rear braking is all about finesse, you never brake hard with the rear brake, you ‘drag’ the rear brake just enough to shift the bike’s weight. You drag it a bit just before you grave the front brake and trail off of it as you tip in while trail braking the front and then I use it again to tighten the radius radius on a corner to help get the bike pointed in the right direction for the drive out of the corner.

Or you can just buy a 25V4 and it will do it for you... I'm struggling with this. Takes a couple of seasons to learn to do well, now just plunk your money down.

Yeah, that’s why I was saying I was melancholy about having that feature on the bike…it’s totally badass…BUT I just spent two seasons learning how to do it on my own lol now the bike does it for you. I think that’s super cool…but at the risk of sounding like an old geezer, where’s the skill development there.

Doesn’t really matter….Damon has an electric sport bike with Ohlins and Brembo that’s 440 pounds and track capable…the weight was always the issue with electric track bikes…but 440 pounds while still heavy is on par with most of the liter bikes out there.

Soon those bikes will be even lighter, with better weight distribution, better torque and throttle modulation, and super advanced electronic Nannie’s like some of the stuff Ducati is opening the door to.

An electric bike that turns faster lap times with more advanced rider aids than a liter bike is coming…probably within the next 3 years.

I have it, it’s an improvement over OEM, I run a set of Carbon Ceramic pads with it, you have to drag them a bit to warm them up as you go out for each session, because the pads don’t grab well cold, but after they warm up the pads have a progressive initial bite that ramps up to pretty good slowing power, enough to transfer the weight of the bike with some finesse, which is all you want from a rear brake.

I would have it mated to a SICOM rear disc. I have SICOM’s up front as well with the OEM Stylemas.

It’s from one of the shops local to me where I purchased my front SICOM rotors as well.
