Motorcycle Glossary Dictionary Term - Disc Brake

Disc Brake: A Disc Brake consists of both a rotating portion called the Rotor and a stationary portion called the Caliper . The Rotor is attached to the wheel of the motorcycle. The Caliper assembly parts work against the Rotor to apply pressure to it thereby stopping the wheel from turning. It's difficult to say precisely when the components of a disc brake should be replaced since so much depends on how the motorcyclist uses the brakes.
