This solution enables the rider to control \nthe rear brake without using his right leg to operate a pedal. Instead, \nhe simply relies on a small lever mounted under the left handlebar that \nis controlled by his thumb.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"contentArticle art-half\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"art-col-sx\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text-half\"\u003e\n Valentino had already tested the Brembo thumb brake master cylinder \nafter the Brno race. The configuration he tested was the “standard” \nversion with a thumb master cylinder and a pedal connected to the same \nrear master cylinder. With this version it isn't possible to operate the\n rear brake with the thumb master cylinder and the pedal simultaneously,\n only one of the two can be used. \n         \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text-half\"\u003eBut after the injury, Valentino wanted a solution with two\n separate circuits in order to operate the thumb master cylinder and the\n pedal at the same time. The Brembo technicians made this change in \nrecord time with a new rear caliper that met Valentino's demands.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"contentArticle artOnlyText\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"textArt\"\u003e\n After all, Brembo knows Valentino really well having been at his side \nsince his debut in the World Championship. In 22 years of activity, the \nDoctor has ridden with four manufacturers (Aprilia, Honda, Yamaha and \nDucati) and three tire brands, but he has always been loyal to Brembo \nbrakes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"contentArticle art-half\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"art-col-dx\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"text-half\"\u003e\n Even though this technical solution was conceived of and built by \nBrembo 25 years ago, only recently has Rossi begun to use the thumb \nbrake master cylinder. It was Mick Doohan who asked for it when he was \nthe victim of a serious accident during test runs at the Dutch GP in \n1992. Dutch doctors had operated on his right leg but there were \ncomplications during the night that put him at risk of amputation. The \nAustralian made an urgent call to Dr. Claudio Costa, who loaded him on a\n stretcher and brought him to Italy. The founder of the Mobile Clinic \nmanaged to save Doohan's leg, however it never regained the strength it \nonce had. Doohan was no longer able to operate the rear brake with the \nright pedal. He needed a control on the handlebar that could carry out \nthis same function. \n\n\n         \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e And this is how the thumb-controlled rear brake master\n cylinder came into being. As the months passed, Doohan developed \nincreased sensitivity and went on to win five consecutive World \nChampionships in the 500cc class from 1994 to 1998, every time with \nBrembo brakes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Brembo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42420003995753,"sku":"X985760","price":2249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/0058\/files\/Brembo_Thumb_Brake_Master_Cylinder_1__25369.jpg?v=1761574154","url":"https:\/\/2wheelhq.com\/products\/brembo-billet-left-hand-mounting-rear-thumb-brake-master-cylinder","provider":"2WheelHQ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
