“The 14RCS is best used with a single-disc brake system.”
The Brembo RCS radial brake master cylinders allow riders to choose between power or precision according to road conditions, weather, personal preference, and familiarity with the bike. This patented master cylinder, which is directly derived from the one used in MotoGP, features an innovative adjustment system that allows the same master cylinder to cater to the different requirements of even the most demanding customers.
The Brembo RCS radial master cylinder is designed to bring MotoGP and Superbike technology to numerous enthusiasts, setting new standards for high-performance brake components in terms of technology and style.
The RCS system comprises an adjuster that sets the brake lever pivot distance to either 18 or 20 mm, providing the perfect feedback between rider and machine. Setting the pivot distance to 20 mm makes the braking system more responsive and immediate, while a pivot distance of 18 mm makes it more precisely controllable.
The process of switching between the two settings is extremely quick and easy. You can adjust the master cylinder pivot distance by turning the adjuster on the front of the guide lever with a cam mechanism by 180° using a screwdriver. The red colour indicates 18 mm, and the black colour indicates 20 mm. This changes the braking power distribution without altering the pure power of the system itself.
The pistons, gaskets, and push rods of RCS master cylinders are precisely the same components as those found in the master cylinders used by almost all MotoGP and SBK riders. They are manufactured to very fine tolerances and ensure very low friction.
The lever is composed of two primary components: the racing lever guide and the folding, forged lever.

Over the 50 years since Brembo was founded in Italy, their company history has been dotted with great technological, sporting, and commercial successes, transforming the company into a global leader – a brand synonymous with “brakes” worldwide.
Its successes include producing the first complete braking system, installed as standard on Moto Guzzi and Laverda motorcycles in 1972; the Formula 1 supply for Ferrari in 1975; the first aluminium caliper and the first carbon discs in the 1980s. In 2021, Brembo celebrated its first 60 years of history: An entrepreneurial adventure steeped in technological innovation and continuous research in design and performance, which has led to a starring role in motorsport.
Look at any top-level motorsport, whether it’s two or four-wheeled, and it won’t take you long to find a Brembo braking system – they make some of the world’s best brakes for some of the world’s best teams, and we wouldn’t use anything else on our race bikes.
Brembo 14 RCS clutch master cylinders have a 14mm piston and feature two different adjustment options. These cylinders feature a 16mm piston that delivers precise and consistent clutch engagement, giving you more control over your ride.
The RCS (Ratio Click System) technology takes the customisation options to the next level, allowing you to adjust the lever distance and feel. With a screwdriver, you can switch between two clutch systems – aggressive and reactive (20mm) or a softer one with more modulation (18mm). This lets you fine-tune the clutch system to your exact preferences and riding style, ensuring maximum comfort and control.
What’s more, the RCS system allows you to change the lever assembly without disassembling the entire system. This means your customised settings remain unchanged, and you can easily switch between different lever options. The long folding lever adds an extra layer of safety by providing added crash resistance. So, you can ride with confidence, knowing that your clutch system is optimised for your needs.
