ABSTRACT:
A brake apparatus includes a caliper with two housing members secured together by a C-section bridge. The housing members straddle a rotor, so as to be able to urge one or more pistons disposed therein to apply brake pads against the rotor, thereby effectuating a braking force on the rotor. The C-section bridge provides support for the members and reduces the clamshell effect generated by application of the breaking force.
