GNX5 Caliper
GNX5 calipers are the product of in-house FEA design and 3-D modeling . With its unyielding strength and piston design, the GNX5 generates positive pedal and high clamping efficiency with a substantial weight savings over comparable OE Calipers. Base model calipers feature a natural aluminum finish protected by a clear coat anodizing. Forged billet aluminum bodies, pistons, and high-temperature put an end to the , bore pitting, and failures that plague many OE caliper design. GNX5 caliper assemblies are designed use with DOT 3, 4 or 5.1 fluids and should not be used with Dot 5 fluids.
pistons delay the heat transfer from the pads while the aluminum calipers dissipate the heat quicker than the OE cast iron calipers. Cooler operating temperatures translate into longer service life, regardless of the driving environment. Each caliper also uses SRS bridge plates to reduce wear from pad gouging at the caliper bridge. The spring-loaded action of the SRS plates also reduces noise by eliminating pad rattle and dampening the engagement harmonics
