ABSTRACT:
A floating disk brake of small weight and low manufacturing cost in which the caliper slides stably and the center of gravity of the caliper is set close to the front fork or the like where it is supported. Torque receiving surfaces formed on both sides of a caliper are arranged such that side surfaces of the backing plates of the pads are abutted thereagainst. A pin which supports the pads on both sides of the disk rotor is provided in the caliper, extending parallel to the rotary axis of the disk rotor and inserted into central portions of peripheries of the backing plates. Two slide bolts for slidably supporting the caliper have first end portions screwed into a member which is rigid with the body or frame of the vehicle and second end portions slidably inserted into respective sides of the caliper. At least one of the slide bolts is arranged so as to partially overlie the disk rotor with a slide center of that slide bolt being substantially coincident with the center of the thickness of the disk rotor.
