ABSTRACT:
A disc brake of the type comprising a caliper (10) mounted to slide on a fixed support (12) by way of a pin (14) extending parallel to the axis (0) of the disc (16), the fixed support (12) comprising two arms (28, 30) extending radially towards the periphery of the disc (16), the latter defining when it rotates in the forward direction of rotation (AV), a front arm (28) and a rear arm (30) of the fixed support (12), a brake motor (32) acting directly on an inner friction element (40) and, as a result of reaction via the caliper (10), on an outer friction (42). According to the invention, the pin (14) is associated with the rear arm (30) of the fixed support, the inner friction element (40) bearing on a bearing surface (48) formed on the front arm (28) of the fixed support (12) when the brake motor (32) is actuated to slow down rotation in the forward direction of rotation of the disc, the outer friction element (42) being fixed to the sliding caliper (10) to which it transmits the frictional forces generated when it is stressed to engage frictionally with the rotating disc (16).
