Abstract
A brake pad may have at least one plate and at least one friction material supported by the plate. The friction material surface may have a barycenter. The plate may have a first slot and a second slot. The first slot may have a first slot edge adapted to accommodate a first pin mounted on the caliper body. The second slot may have a second slot edge adapted to accommodate a second pin mounted on the caliper body. In a forward braking condition, the brake pad rests on the first pin with a first slot first portion, and the brake pad rests on the second pin with a second slot first portion. The first slot is arranged in a radially outer position with respect to the barycenter and the second slot is arranged in a radially inner position with respect to the barycenter. The first slot and the second slot may be radially external with respect to a barycenter circumference centered on a rotation axis and passing through a barycenter.
