Introduction
Six Piston brake system:
Alligator’s new Gatorbrake Six Piston Disc brake system is the first and original full hydraulic disc brake with a
distinctive six-piston configuration. This six-piston design allows three opposing pairs of different diameter pistons
to work in sequence, therefore stabilizing the rotor and eliminating wobble. Our six-piston configuration also
allows for a wider brake pad surface to be used. This improves longevity while greatly increasing stopping power.
The Gatorbrake Six Piston Disc brake system utilizes all cold forged alloys that provide a durable and lightweight
lever system.
Brake hose used in this system utilizes an original Dupont Teflon P.T.F.E. underlay with reinforced braided Kevlar
brand fiber and strengthened with AISI 304 stainless steel wire mesh for minimal expansion and maximum burst
strength. This is the same hose structure used in Formula One road racing.
Safety Information
Before each ride, always check your brakes for proper function, the brake pads for wear and inspect for damage
resulting in fluid leaks. Proper service and maintenance, as well as safe riding practices are needed in all aspects
of sports.
Read this service and installation manual carefully. It is important to completely understand the operation of your
brake system. Improper use of your brake system may result in a lost of control or an accident, which could lead
to severe injury. Always wear protective clothing, eyewear and gloves when servicing your brake system.
Emergency Care
In the event that you accidentally swallow any hydraulic fluid, please seek immediate medical attention and take
the fluid container with you. If hydraulic fluid comes in contact with eyes or skin, flush with fresh water. If irritation
persists, seek medical attention.
Warnings
The caliper and rotor will become hot when the brakes are operated. Do not touch them while riding or
immediately after dismounting from the bicycle. Check that the brake components have been cooled down before
attempting to adjust the brakes.
DO NOT USE D.O.T. 3 or 4 brake fluid in this system. Doing so may result in damaging the seals and
cause the brakes to fail.
Check for brake pad wear and fluid contamination. New brake pads must be used before using the system the
first time. Inspect for any fluid leaks in the hose or system. For safety reasons, don’t use the system if any leaks
have been detected. Consult an experienced mechanic for advice.
We strongly recommend that only competent cycle mechanics install and service your disc brake system and
only original Gatorbrake replacement parts be used. Incorrect installation and or substandard parts could result in
brake failure and cause personal injuries.
