The rotational motion of the wheel imparts movement to the brake disc. Upon depression of the brake pedal, a piston within the brake caliper exerts pressure on the brake pads, facilitating frictional contact with the disc, resulting in deceleration of both the disc and the vehicle.
The braking action engenders a notable generation of heat, and sustained or forceful braking can elevate the temperature of the brake discs to levels detrimental to their efficacy, leading to performance degradation, commonly known as fading.
Consequently, Miles brake discs of premium caliber are meticulously engineered to efficiently dissipate heat, with a targeted focus on optimal thermal management. The manufacturing process is characterized by stringent adherence to precise specifications encompassing weight, mass, density, and the utilization of materials distinguished by a high carbon composition.
