Brake technology specialist Brembo is debuting its all-new B-M6 six-piston aluminium monobloc brake caliper at the 2018 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas.


The all-new caliper is designed for the front corners of sports coupes and saloon cars, high-performance SUV’s, and supercars that use either cast-iron or Brembo’s advanced CCM-R carbon-ceramic discs.

It is available in five colours, black, red, yellow, white and fluorescent yellow and can be paired with the B-M4 caliper on the rear axle, where applicable. Developed to increase overall braking performance, these systems provide consistent braking power and feel under extreme conditions. Typical applications would include Audi S/RS models, BMW M2/M3/M4, X5M/X6M, Chevrolet Camaro and Corvette, Ford Mustang, Porsche 911/Turbo/GT3, and many more.

The B-M6 caliper accommodates brake discs up to 410x36mm (16.14x1.42”), and is optimised for use with wide annulus discs and brake pads, providing significantly more braking surface area. It is produced in multiple piston-area configurations so that Brembo engineers can precisely tailor the individual system for each application. Also included are technical features commonly found in Brembo billet and forged racing calipers including integral bridges for exceptional stiffness, completely internal fluid passages, and a single concealed bleed screw providing greater safety and resistance to damage.

The caliper is cast utilising Brembo’s exclusive 4D technology process, and is manufactured in the same plant as the company’s racing brake systems. This process was first used on Brembo’s B-M8 caliper. The proprietary casting technology provides Brembo design freedom to engineer completely different calipers from those previously existing. Brembo says the new B-M6 caliper is a combination of highly efficient architecture and unique styling, made possible by Brembo’s ability to design without the constraints of traditional casting methods.
