   Larger rotors can be used to increase braking force, but this also increases weight and inertia. To overcome this brake manufacturers developed calipers four, six and even eight pistons. [14] Increasing the number of pistons increases the swept piston area, allowing for longer, narrower brake pads and smaller discs.

6. Inboard brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inboard_brake

   An inboard brake is an automobile technology wherein the disc brakes are mounted on the chassis of the vehicle, rather than directly on the wheel hubs. Its main advantages are twofold: a reduction in the unsprung weight of the wheel hubs, as this no longer includes the brake discs and calipers; and braking torque is applied directly to the chassis, rather than being transferred to it through ...

   Its hubless wheels are made from former truck tires, and a chain-driven friction drum provides power and brake force. [ 6 ] Designed "for casual cruising and slow ride-bys at shows", it consists of a 996 cc (60.8 cu in) fuel-injected Suzuki 4-stroke engine [ 7 ] in a steel frame covered by a fiberglass body with electroluminescent wire lighting.
