Good brakes are one of the most important components on a scooter. Not only for better performance and more driving enjoyment, but also for your own protection. The quality and braking power should have top priority. Unfortunately, the 2-piston brake callipers built into a Vespa as standard have a hard time with this and there’s no denying it. They quickly reach their limits. The brake upgrade from SIP SERIES PORDOI will now change this. The new SIP SERIES PORDOI brake calliper provides an improvement in break perfomrance and feeling.

For a sporty driving style

Those who need stronger and more reliable performance for tricky driving maneuvers and high braking performance can now upgrade their braking system. The 4-piston brake calliper suitable for a standard brake pump – with 2x 34mm and 2x 30mm brake pistons – from SIP SERIES PORDOI, guarantees improved braking power thanks to an optimized hydraulic transmission ratio.

A larger brake pad width with a more stable contact surface rounds off the new brake calliper. The wider brake pad from GALFER dissipates heat better and ensures a longer service life under permanent load. This also has an effect on brake wear, which is also reduced as a result. The brake therefore tends to fade less under higher loads.

The brake calliper is available in black or grey anodized and is finished to a high standard using a CNC milling machine. An important advantage of the new brake calliper from SIP SERIES PORDOI, which significantly simplifies the brake upgrade: an existing vehicle type approval (ABE). The brake calliper is approved for German road traffic and can be used with all corresponding models.

Suitable Vespas include the GTS, GTS Super, GTV, GT 60, GT and the GT L 125-300ccm. And pssst… Aprilia riders can also install the new brake calliper. The exact model overview of the ABE can be found in the download area under the respective article in the SIP Scootershop.

What you should not forget during a replacement:

  • Fresh brake fluid: this should also be changed every 2 years.
  • Filling and bleeding aid: for simple and clean filling and appropriate bleeding of the brake.
  • A high-quality upgrade for the stainless steel brake hose for even better brake pressure control.
