16RCS Corsa Corta Radial Clutch Master Cylinder

The Brembo 16RCS Corsa Corta radial clutch master cylinder is engineered for performance motorcycles, offering a customizable riding experience. Its patented RCS (Ratio Click System) allows riders to easily switch the lever ratio between 16mm and 18mm, providing a smoother feel with more power at 16mm, or a quicker response with less power at 18mm. This adjustability helps riders fine-tune their clutch engagement to match their preferences and riding conditions. Constructed from a forged aluminum alloy, the master cylinder body undergoes CNC machining for precise tolerances, similar to those used in MotoGP. The hard anodized finish provides exceptional resistance to abrasion and corrosion. The clutch lever itself is forged and features a folding design, incorporating a patented mechanism that ensures it only rotates in the event of a crash, enhancing dynamic safety. Lever reach adjustment is also integrated for personalized ergonomics. This master cylinder utilizes a 15mm piston diameter, which Brembo markets as the 16RCS, making it suitable for motorcycles with stock clutch master cylinder piston diameters of 14mm or 15mm. However, it is important to note that it is not compatible with wire-actuated clutches, as exemplified by the Yamaha XSR900. Additionally, the 16RCS Corsa Corta clutch master cylinder does not include a bite point adjustment feature and is not supplied with a switch; a separate banjo bolt with a built-in pressure switch is required if this functionality is desired. Some levers, like the Brembo RCS Type Folding Clutch Lever for BMW, may not be compatible with Shift Assistant Pro or double switch clutch levers. Buyers should also be aware that OEM axial clutch master cylinder hoses may not fit, potentially requiring a specific line or a universal radial master cylinder adapter.
