Furthermore, equipped with the RCS (Ratio Click System), the master cylinder enables adjustments in brake force distribution without compromising pure power.

The innovative adjustment system ensures that riders can fine-tune their bike’s braking performance to match their riding style, weather conditions, and road surfaces, without sacrificing aesthetics.

The 19RCS CORSA CORTA RR epitomizes the ideal choice for those seeking a performance upgrade while maintaining meticulous control over their bike’s setup.

This prestigious Red Dot Award marks the second win for Brembo, following their initial triumph in 2019 with the previous iteration, the 19RCS CORSA CORTA. Design excellence serves as a common thread binding these esteemed products together.

In a competition that attracts approximately 20,000 entries annually from 60 countries, the Red Dot Design Award stands as one of the world’s largest and most esteemed design competitions. The 2023 edition saw projects from various disciplines evaluated in 51 distinct competition categories.
