Brake system, rear
The rear brakes have been changed and now
have larger, ventilated brake discs on engine
models B235R (Aero) and B308E (Arc). A new
carrier has been introduced and the brake caliper
has been redesigned to better suit the large
diameter brakes discs, 300mm (11.8in)
compared with the standard 278mm (10.9in), and
the 20mm (0.78in) thick disc compared with the
standard single brake disc of 12mm (0.47in).
The brake caliper piston diameter has been
changed from the earlier standard 38mm (1.49in)
to 40mm (1.57in) on the new brake caliper with
ventilated disc. Other brake calipers still have
38mm (1.49in) pistons.
