Talos C52 Cast Monoblock P4 32/32 Front Left Brake Caliper 100mm | C52.100.GD.L

When lap times and rider safety depend on consistent, fade-resistant braking, the Talos C52 Cast Monoblock brake caliper is built to meet that demand. Designed exclusively for track use, this front-left caliper combines a rigid cast monoblock body with a symmetrical P4 32/32 piston layout to deliver progressive, predictable braking that holds up through the longest stints on circuit.

Key Features

• Cast monoblock construction delivers high structural rigidity, resisting flex and deformation even under sustained high-temperature braking loads
• P4 32/32 configuration — four matched 32 mm stainless steel pistons — ensures perfectly balanced clamping force and smooth, linear lever feel
• Gold anodised finish protects the caliper body against corrosion, abrasion, and thermal stress while giving a clean, purposeful appearance
• Compatible with brake discs from 290 mm to 330 mm, offering genuine versatility across multiple race-bike builds and track-day conversions
• Accepts brake pads with a thickness of 4–5.5 mm, keeping consumable sourcing straightforward
• Weighs 798 g — a well-balanced figure for a cast-body racing caliper, keeping unsprung mass in check without sacrificing durability

Cast Monoblock Body — Rigidity Where It Counts

The C52's cast monoblock housing is machined from a single piece of high-quality cast material, eliminating the flex points inherent in two-piece bolt-together designs. Under repeated hard braking, a rigid caliper body maintains consistent pad-to-disc contact geometry, which translates directly into repeatable brake modulation from corner to corner. Minimal thermal deformation means the caliper behaves the same on lap one as it does on lap twenty — a trait that underpins rider confidence and, critically, safety at speed.

P4 32/32 Piston Layout — Balanced Force, Precise Modulation

Four identical 32 mm stainless steel pistons arranged in a P4 configuration apply clamping force evenly across the full width of the brake pad. The result is a smooth, progressive pressure build-up with no tendency to grab or judder. Predictable initial bite and a well-controlled release point reduce fade sensitivity during extended track use, and the consistent feedback through the lever allows riders to work right to the edge of traction with confidence. Stainless steel pistons resist heat soak and corrosion, contributing to long service life even in demanding conditions.

Gold Anodised Finish — Protection and Presence

The gold anodised surface treatment on the C52 is more than an aesthetic choice. Anodising creates a hard oxide layer integral to the aluminium surface, providing meaningful resistance to corrosion from brake fluid, road debris, and the high-humidity environment found in pit lanes and paddocks. The finish also withstands the thermal cycling that brake calipers experience every session, maintaining its appearance over a full racing season. The C52 is also available in Titanium Anodised and Blue Anodised finishes for riders who want a specific colour scheme to match their build.

Fitment and Compatibility

This is a front-left caliper with a 100 mm radial mounting pitch, intended for racing and track-day applications. It is not road-legal and must only be used in closed-circuit competition environments. The wide disc-diameter compatibility range of 290–330 mm makes it a practical choice across a broad range of performance motorcycle builds and custom racing projects. Brake pads are not included; verify pad specification against your chosen compound before fitting. Always confirm caliper fitment against your specific frame, fork, and disc arrangement prior to installation.
