Title: Beringer front master cylinder
Post by: croat1 on January 04, 2024, 07:41:09 PM

Is anyone using a Beringer front master cylinder?  If so what model Beringer?  Using Trx250R calipers or something different?

Thanks

Joe

I'm not but have seen a few guys using them.  Jason has them and calipers, Higgy has the MC and I believe I saw Blake put one on one of his bikes.

I had never heard of them until today! I just looked them up and wow! $629 for what looks a lot like a crf front master. I do have to admit that they have some nice features and looks sexy as hell in black!!!!

Ok so I looked into it a little. The levers have bearings so there is no slop. You can also buy different size levers to better fit your hand size. A few different piston sizes are available to push more fluid

if you go to a national MX race, all the pros have been running these for a few years and it trickles down to most of the A class guys and some B class as well.  what i was told was instead of just an on/off type application of the front brakes, these do a much better job of modulating the amount of braking at incremental lever positions.  Not sure if true or what the point would be since the later and harder you brake the faster your lap times. 

aka "Jumps for show, corners for dough"

I've been tempted to buy one, but havent pulled the trigger. I believe both Wienen racing and hetrick racing are dealers and have suggestions of which options to use.

Joe,

My bother and I have 4 of them between the two of us.  We don't race, but I can tell you they are absolutely worth the money and have incredible stopping power that requires very little pressure to be applied from your hand.   

We run the BRO 14 model (14.5mm piston), with lever #5 but the 12 model (12.7mm piston) would work for any of our machines as well. 

By no means am I trying to hijack this post to earn a couple sales, but I do sell Beringer through my business DBC Racing LLC and would be happy to help anyone out if they want to purchase one.
