Brembo wins red dot award

Italian brake firm Brembo has snapped up a of Red Dot design award for the 2022 update of its high-end radial master cylinder. The 19RCS CORSA CORTA RR took the award in the ‘product design’ category, with judges recognising the quality and design of the high-end bolt-on upgrade. Machined from billet aluminium and finished with a hard oxidation treatment, Brembo claims the 19RCS is directly derived from the master cylinders used in MotoGP and SBK championships. The unique adjustment setup allows riders to tailor the brake biting point and also uses the firm’s RCS (Ratio Click System), which changes the braking force to suit the rider and the conditions. It’s the second Red Dot award for Brembo – the previous win in 2019 was for an earlier version of the radial master cylinder. The Red Dot Design Award claims to be one of the world’s largest design competitions, running since 1955, and this year featured entries from 60 countries in 51 categories.
