comprehensive range of brake calipers for a wide variety
of applications. With our involvement in all levels of
motorsport as well as experience in fast road and
specialist vehicle applications, Alcon Engineers are well
positioned to advise you on the best caliper for your
application.
Alcon calipers are either die-cast or
machined from billet aluminium alloy and the range spans
from 2-piston through 4 and 6-piston to our unique
12-piston configuration, with water-cooling as an option
on some designs. Our range has been developed over many
years of supplying the motorsport industry world-wide
including Indycar, NASCAR, TRANS-AM, WSC, GT, Super
Touring, F3000, F3 and World Rallying.
Consequently, we have a really in-depth
understanding of the different challenges which arise
across the spectrum of motosport and our Engineers are
able to work with you to create an advantage.
Furthermore, if your requirement
can not be met with an
existing design we are pleased to discuss
possibilities for
a custom product.

Differential piston sizes in order to
minimise pad taper
Range of piston sizes to provide ideal match
