If you follow Formula One, NASCAR, World Sports Car or IndyCar racing, the winning teams employ calipers machined 1-piece of exotic aluminum alloy. These calipers are referred to as "MonoBlock” units.
Baer offers the only forged MonoBlock caliper in the World that is specifically designed for road use. Because of its Forged MonoBlock Construction, the Baer 6S caliper is the stiffest caliper to ever be offered for road-going use.
1-piece forged 6S calipers combine the maximum in stability of material at hi-temperatures, as well as weight, in an extremely stiff platform.
6S units are robust, ridged, and now available with hi-temp powder coated finishes. Standard colors are RED, Silver and Black (with many additional colors available on a custom order basis).
Standard in Baer Claw® EXTREME and EXTREME+ systems, 6S calipers feature dramatic, ultra-clean, and purposeful looks. Combined with road-going dust and weather seals to maximize civility, the 6S is highly refined and desirable for use on the street, on the track, or both. They are, quite simply, world class!
Baer is proud to be the first to have brought this sophisticated race technology to the street. As a result Baer produces more Forged MonoBlock calipers than other manufacturers and is able to pass on savings gleaned from our volume and machine tool advances without compromise.
6S 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.
- 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.
- 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
- Powder coated finish, standard; or Hard-coat anodized available as an option.
- Radial mounting for the most flexibility in mounting design with optional ear mount brackets to simplify mounting!
- Light weight in design, just 8lbs. 1oz.
- 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!
