Baer 6R Asphalt Caliper

Understanding that there is more to caliper design than just machining something that looks like a caliper out of a piece of billet; Hal Baer insisted that the Baer, 6R caliper be the finest competition caliper available today! Over 15 years in the making, this caliper was designed by the most talented engineers in our industry, and uses only the finest materials available. But that doesn’t mean this caliper is one of the worlds most expensive! With recent technological advancements in production engineering we are able to offer this caliper at a price point that in some cases is as much as 50% less than calipers of similar quality!

Larger than our 6P calipers, this caliper is based on our popular 6S, mono-bloc caliper; already one of words finest examples of caliper engineering and design! With no compromises left on the drawing table, this version incorporates additional features that make it particularly desirable for competition use.

6R Features –

  • Machined from 2618 forgings - resulting in the stiffest possible design, even at extreme operating temperatures!
  • Mono-bloc design – while expensive to produce is a “no compromise” design and is used throughout the world on only the finest calipers available.
  • Internal cross-over design prevents brake fluid circulation restrictions due to external damage from debris commonly associated with external cross-over “tubes”
  • Stainless steel, staggered bore pistons virtually eliminate end to end pad taper and offer superior thermal shielding to minimize the effects of brake pedal fade due to brake fluid boiling
  • Pressure and wiper seals offer superior protection against contamination and dust while offering controlled pad pull back, resulting in consistent pedal position, turn after turn, lap after lap.
  • Incorporating both “bridge bolts” and a “quick change clip”, it allows the use of either “bridge bolts” for superior stiffness, or the ability to run the caliper without bridge bolts to allow quick pad changes in endurance applications. This is an industry first, and a Baer Brake Systems, Inc. exclusive!
  • Popular pad backing plate configuration is readily available from popular manufacturers such as, Hawk, Performance Friction, Ferodo, Pagid, Mintex and others in a wide variety of competition pad compounds 
  • Hard-coat anodized for maximum resistance to abrasion
  • Radial mounting for the most flexibility in mounting design with optional ear mount brackets to simplify mounting!
  • Light weight in design, just 8lbs. 1oz. the 6R caliper has a power to weight ratio that is well suited for competition use where un-sprung weight may be of concern.
  • Designed for rotor diameter’s of 13.5” (343mm) to 16” (406mm) by 1.250” (31.75mm) thick.
  • Long pad shape maximizes brake “torque” by placing the bulk of the pad friction surface further out away from the hub centerline.  
  • 100% MADE IN THE USA!
