R 1200 CL
Brake Components and Integral ABS
The brake system has been designed to
meet the demands of a touring Cruiser. The
EVO brake and fully integral ABS are used
for the first time on the R 1200 C model.
The large 305mm floating brake discs made
of high-grade steel are used on the front
wheel. The bearings are connected directly
to the hub of the front wheel by means of a
secondary support and five screws. Drilled
discs enhance the brake reaction in wet
conditions and increase the self-cleaning
effect.
The two hydraulically operated 4-piston
calipers are designed as fixed calipers providing
angular wear compensation due to
the offset piston diameters. The piston
diameters are 36 or 32 mm.

The sintered metal brake pads have a brake
pad surface of 86 cm 2 .The rear wheel brake
is a hydraulically operated single disc brake
with 4-piston caliper and organic brake
pads. It has been taken over essentially
from the K 1200 LT model.
The floating high-grade steel brake disc
screwed to the ring gear of the rear axle has
retained the diameter of 285 mm. The thickness
of the disc has been increased to 7 mm.
A visual wear indicator is mounted on the
steel support of the outer brake pad to
make it easy to check the available pad
thickness as the brakes where and as an
indicator that they require replacement.
