BRAKING KS2300 : BRAKING F.I.R.S.T. Komplete System Front/Rear Aramide/Braided Hose Ø5mm (Without Disc)

Braking is ready to revolutionize the concept of brake: an action as simple as braking will become a new experience... You won't believe your fingers.

• Fully


• Independent


• Regulation


• Screw &


• Trailing-link
  
  (Completely independent adjustment screw and displacement link)

F.I.R.S.T. is the new braking system Braking, unique and completely renewed in its main features, precisely the FIRST of a new era.

A completely new project, 100% Made in Italy and CNC worked, the result of our experience gained on the race fields.

'First'guarantees tailor made braking thanks to the new design that will allow you to manage the ergonomics of the brake REGARDLESS of the hydraulic adjustment.

A dress that you can customize through the choice of various possible customizations.

• 9mm or 10mm cartridge


• new interchangeable LINK (three sizes available)


• compatible with disc thickness up to 3mm WITHOUT the use of spacers (without disassembling the caliper)

'TAILOR MADE' is one of our missions: to give a brake that is suitable for everyone, perfect for each discipline and customizable according to the different needs of each rider.

.. you won't believe your fingers!

What has changed:

• Lighter, stiffer master cylinder and caliper. It weights 60gr less than IN.CA.S. 2.0


• New hydraulic regulation INDEPENDENT from the lever position adjustment


• Possibility to easily change the link and therefore the reaction arm of the lever, for increase power up to (+26%) compared to IN.CA.S. 2.0.


• New, thinner pump cartridge with more holes for lubrication and polished piston chamber for better piston flow


• New master cylinder tank with increased oil volume (+10%) and easy oil draught even in inverted position


• New diaphragm system and pump cover for precise separation between oil and air. Avoid problems such as oil emulsions, sudden lever voids, air problems after operating the lever with the vertical bike, and finally better management of the oil volume change


• Simpler bleeding procedure - with built-in bleeding nipple in the highest position, to make bleeding faster and more effective


• New caliper mounting holes, for better and faster centering of the caliper on the frame


• New pad pin with safety clip


• Modified caliper O-ring housing geometry and tolerances for better piston roll-back and faster oil flow


• Possibility to install 3 mm thick discs directly – without the need for spacer, and without disassembling the caliper

All this makes F.I.R.S.T. superior to IN.CA. S in terms of customization and performance possibilities, but above all it makes the system EASIER to assemble, bleed and maintain.

What is possible to customize:

Cartridge

F.I.R.S.T. (and IN.CA. S) are the only brakes on the market to have the possibility to replace the cartridge, changing the diameter of the piston to change the braking action.

With the 9mm cartridge you have a more linear but more powerful braking action. The smaller area ensures higher pressures in the pipes (more power), while the lower flow rate of fluid means that a greater stroke of the lever is necessary to transfer the same volume of fluid to the caliper (greater modulation)

With the 10mm cartridge you have a more immediate braking action at the beginning of the stroke but less powerful. The larger area develops lower pressures in the pipes (lower peak power), while the higher fluid flow rate means that the lever stroke to transfer the same volume of fluid is lower than the 9mm cartridge stroke (less modular, more ON/OFF)

Link Size

With the replacement of the link you go to modify the reaction arm of the pump acting on the power of the system.

There are three Link sizes available:

• Short – More powerful braking action


• Standard, supplied as standard – Medium powerful braking action


• Long – Less powerful but more modular braking action

Discs and Pads

Our F.I.R.S.T. system is compatible with all our discs in all diameters, even 3mm without the need to mount the ventilated spacer as was the case with IN.CA.S.

The choice of disc greatly affects the performance of the brake: pay attention to the choice of diameter and thickness of the disc. For light riders it is not advisable to mount a disc with increased diameter and thickness because you risk never being able to bring the pads to the correct temperature to maximize performance. Conversely, for a heavy rider, too small discs and reduced thicknesses are not advisable.

The pads are also essential for proper braking. Light riders can be recommended softer pads that immediately enter the temperature, while heavier riders are better advised to recommend harder pads, for optimal heat management.

Compatibility F.I.R.S.T. and IN.CA.S

• F.I.R.S.T. uses the same pads and hydraulic hoses as IN.CA.S.


• The same fittings can therefore be used for assembly


• All other spare parts are not compatible!

What we have improved in F.I.R.S.T.

• EASY to assemble – The clamp slots have been enlarged


• EASY to bleed – bleeding nipple and cartridge with double holes


• EASY in aligning the caliper – Greater ROLL-BACK of the pistons and grains for alignment


• EASY in adjusting the lever – SEPARATE lever and hydraulic adjustment


• EASY in adjusting the volume of oil in the reservoir – No more attention to the oil level, it must be filled completely


• No Vacuum, now air and oil are separated by the new membrane


• Pump better handles oil volume changes


• Lower risk of bent tubes when the pumps are plugged – The tube now comes out more parallel to the handlebar

Selling Point

• Our plant is completely built in ITALY


• The system is very PERFORMING but very EASY to assemble


• One fit all – system suitable for both Cross Country and DH up to e-BIKES


• Possibility of customizing braking


• Possibility to mount oversized 3mm discs


• CNC machined


• Availability of spare parts


• Assistance

Why 2 Pistons again?

• 4 pistons no longer mean power


• It's just a matter of hydraulic ratio and volume. Our cartridge works with twice the pressure of another system and our pistons are huge (diameter 26mm)


• With two pistons you have better oil control, and the pads can work in parallel and better aligned with the discs


• Two pistons are easy to service


• With 2 pistons, the ORs are larger and drive the pistons better


• The hydraulic ratio is extremely favorable for the size of the pump piston, and with 9mm cartridge the system is extremely modular


• Two large pistons have larger chambers and less hassle to connect, creating less air retention and facilitating purging

Scope of delivery:

• Caliper front


• Caliper rear


• Aramide brake hoses (Ø 5mm) and connectors


• Brake pads (carbon metallic)


• Hand brake pump (master cylinder) left


• Brake pump (master cylinder) right
