Rear brake caliper carrier 64mm for Yamaha YZF-R1/M RN32, RN49 & RN65. Lightweight quick-change mounting system for ambitious R1 trackbikes. This rear brake caliper carrier with 64mm mounting is the weight-optimized racing solution for the Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M models in the RN32, RN49 and RN65 generations. Developed for models from 2015 to 2026, this brake anchor is designed for riders building a trackbike who consistently prioritize function, weight, and fast maintenance.

When combined with a suitable aftermarket brake caliper, the Hesterberg Cad/Cam quick-change system makes removal and installation of the rear wheel significantly easier. Ideal for trackdays, race circuits, tire changes in the pit lane, and for anyone who wants to tune their Yamaha R1 for uncompromising performance.

For weight obsessives and racing purists

This 64mm version is especially interesting if you want to selectively reduce unsprung mass on your R1. Compared to the standard OEM setup, weight savings of over 500 g are possible. Especially at the rear wheel, every gram counts: less weight on moving components can positively influence handling, throttle response, and the overall feel on track.

The carrier is CNC-machined from aluminium 7075-T6 and combines precise manufacturing with low weight and high load capacity.

Faster wheel changes, less risk when tightening

On the race track, a wheel change should work quickly, with control, and without unnecessary interruptions. Exactly for this purpose, this R1 brake anchor with quick-change system was developed.

By machining threaded holes into the chain adjuster, the brake caliper bracket can be directly connected to the chain adjuster. This keeps the brake caliper cleanly positioned when removing the rear wheel. It prevents the brake caliper from dropping and makes the swap process significantly more relaxed.

This not only saves time, but also reduces typical sources of error when tightening bolts between sessions.

Why an aftermarket brake caliper makes sense

This system was developed not only to reposition the brake caliper visually or structurally downward. The real advantage is the quick and secure wheel change.

With OEM brake calipers, it can happen during removal that Brake Pads falls out or shifts. Then a fast tire change quickly turns into an unnecessarily long screw-tightening operation. When combined with a suitable 64mm aftermarket brake caliper, this risk can be significantly reduced.

The result is a more professional setup for riders who regularly bring their Yamaha R1 to the racetrack.

Assembly and usage notes

For installation, threaded holes must be added into the chain adjuster. The installation should be carried out by qualified personnel. A new brake line is required and can be added to match the conversion.

A major advantage of this 64mm version: the bracket can be used behind the brake disc without machining the dust shield ring.
