TurboBrake HB427-H 2-Piston Brake Calliper

• TurboBrake HB427-H is eSN's recommended entry-level hydraulic calliper (2-Piston).
• Proven reliable as stock calliper on Dragon models of Cyclone/Predator/Hurricane etc.
• Reliable replacement for most of the common stock callipers on most makes/models of eScooters.
• H designation = hydraulic (2-Piston). This is a contemporary calliper with similar performance of other 2-piston callipers such as those from Logan, Zoom and NUTT.

• Available in Left or Right orientation. This orientation defines the location of the hydraulic line termination (banjo bolt) as you look at the outer side of calliper mounted on scooter. For example, a calliper with right orientation, sitting on top of swing arm will suit rear right hand side of scooter & front left hand side. It will also suit front right hand side if located "behind the fork". See notes for further info, as a general guide:
  • NAMI = Left.
  • Kaabo Warrior = Right with exception to the GTR which adopts Left at front.
  • Kaabo Mantis 8/10 = Left.
  • Teverun Fighter = Left.
  • Dragon Hurricane = Right orientation.
• Supplied with Long or Short hydraulic line (hose), industry standard BH59 type with TEKTRO style barb.
  • Short, for front is 1.28 meters length.
  • Long, for rear is s 2.1 meters length.

Lengths are derived from that of NAMI Logan 4-Piston (Burn-e) which is the most generous of all common 11" wheel scooters.

Hose terminates on the outside with a Banjo Bolt. The Banjo provides flexibility for routing of hydraulic line (hose) at expense of more points-of-failure. In contrast, the 4-piston HB427-4S calliper is without Banjo.

• Supplied with factory fitted Hook pad (resin semi-metal). Replacement pads are offered in choice of 4 compounds.
• Includes 7-piece kit comprising of olive (bushing), compression nut, cover (hood/boot), pair of M6 x 18mm socket head bolts with washers to secure bracket to swing arm and two o rings for the factory-fitted barb.
• Current stocks are unbranded except for the Right Short's which have ST nameplate branding for Showtime FMX High Octane Entertainment. The branding is on the outer face on the calliper housing.

Notes:

1. Typically paired with the TurboBrake Lever or the higher end CNC Ball Bearing Edition lever.
2. This is the OEM calliper factory fitted as stock on most newer Dragon (Langfeite) mode of Cyclone, Predator, Hurricane, Lightning & The Beast.
3. Examples of orientation adopted on popular makes/models (always check your own build):
   1. NAMI has Left orientation.
      Rear is on the left hand side above swing arm, hence Left. Front is on the right hand above swing arm on Burn-E and Klima, and on left behind the "forks" on Blast which are all Left orientation.

   2. Kaabo Wolf Warrior Series has Right orientation with exception for GTR front.
      
      
   3. Dragon Hurricane has Right orientation.
      Rear is on the right hand side above swing arm, hence Right. Front is on the right hand side, behind the "forks" hence right.
      
      
4. Consider adding a TurboBrake Brake Bleed Adaptor: This specific sized adaptor is not included in the common bleed kits. This adaptor suits all TurboBrake HB427 series brakes (including the Yellow Dragon branded callipers) and is identical to that in the Teverun bleed kit. This adaptor is long and skinny, with only a small amount of thread on the end of the adaptor forming connection with the TurboBrake lever (approx ~1mm of thread bites as the O ring compresses, apply force in turn). eSN recommends having two adaptors for full bleed top and bottom. Without these adaptors you would need resort to augmenting the common bleed kit adaptors with O rings and/or plumbers tape.
   
   
5. Typically the existing, factory stock brackets are retained as TurboBrake callipers are intended as drop-in replacements having similar shape and pad placement as most stock eScooter callipers. This section explains brackets - the two common IS ones used across 140 and 160mm rotors.
   • The F-180 R-160
     This is the common taller bracket: 22 & 22mm offset (height).
     Supplied HB427-4S long (also available as 002 from MUQZI).
     • This bracket is adopted on NAMI Burn-e, Kaabo Wolf Warrior 11/GT Series and Factory Teverun Fighter 11 front/rear. Note some Wolf Warrior's are observed with a 19 & 19 ("no washer") bracket, which is effectively a 22 & 22 shaved down 3mm.
   • The F-160 R-140
     This is the common shorter bracket: 11mm & 7mm offset (height).
     These are supplied with HB427-4S short (also available as 001 from MUQZI).
     • Adopted on NAMI Klima. Near identical to that of the Kaabo Wolf Warrior King/GT rear (Wolf is precisely observed as 12/7mm).
6. Special purpose brackets are often used if intending to fit a larger rotor or relocate the calliper to be more favourable with clearance. MUQZI has an extensive range of special purpose brackets. Here is a couple of relevance:
   • IS 004 F-203 R-180 shown as blue bracket bottom right as an alternative to F180-R160. Used when fitting +20mm larger rotors as shifts the calliper position "away and across" making it an ideal candidate for 160mm -> 180mm rotor uplifts. The actual bracket with that Magura is likely the 007 R-203.
   • PM 005 F-203 R-203 shown as blue bracket top right, it is a (PM: Post Mount) stacked with an IS F-160 R-140. The objective here is to shift the unorthodox sized Magura MT5e calliper and banjo bolt away from the tyre sidewall. The IS 007 R-203 is also a candidate. You generally need not do need special purpose brackets for TurboBrake if retaining stock size rotor.
     .
     
     The IS naming convention is industry standard convention, however often a different type of bracket to what the nameplate numbers suggest. For example, the Klima has stock 140mm rotors yet still requires an F-160 R-140 on the front. You cannot just go by the numbers - you can usually go by increments (e.g. +20mm larger rotor).
7. ABS Spacers from Grey Eteri Store and HUJI Store make a tidy finish compared to stacking washers when fine-tuning placement. Use M6.2 internal diameter for the M6 bolts, 9mm external diameter. Similar to the M5.2's in the TurboTight NAMI Klima Fender Spacer Kit. Alternatively you could use 6x8 or 6x10 copper sleeve from AN DE LI Hardware Fitting Store or U Officer Store.
   
   
8. Image below shows the hydraulic line (hose) supplied with TurboBrake callipers to connect to the brake levers that adopt BH59/TEKTRO fittings such as TurboBrake Levers. This calliper includes the type on left, identical to the TurboBrake 4-piston HB427-4S hose. This is a TEKTRO style fitting (hence the inclusion of BH59 insert (needle/barb) with washer). Calliper includes 7-piece kit includes O ring washer on the factory-fitted barb as shown below. The compression nut adopts the common thread of M8 (0.75 pitch) adopted by most eScooter brake levers, allowing connectivity to existing levers such as Zoom, Logan and NUTT. The steel braided flexi whip hose shown on the right with factory crimped fitting is the higher-end TurboBrake HB427-4M calliper.
   
   
9. Bracket offset (height) is the distance from centre of threaded hole in the bracket that connects to the scooter to the surface of the edge of bracket where the calliper sits. Sometimes brackets are labelled with a nameplate on the underside. Image below contrasts some of the brackets as observed on Kaabo/Zoom callipers:
