Looking to confirm some details of the braking system on the Rebelle.
Edit: Seems that the OEM Bore is 18mm and the Calipers are M430/M50 30 mm
I believe the front calipers are Brembo M50 equivalents with 30mm pistons and the master is a 19mm bore. Is that correct?
I am looking into fitting an 18 or 17mm bore master for softer feel with more lever travel.
Some options I am looking at if I can get my details confirmed about stock components:

I believe the existing is the 19mm brembo RCS, so one would assume the 17mm RCS would be a direct swap

I think my Ego has 34mm M4 calipers. Does the Ribelle have different hardware?

Not sure the standard Ego has M4. The Corsa Cliente model of it does, that documentation I have.
Funny that we are having a hard time determining this info with certainty! ;D

I've a 2023 Ego+ RS. It isn't a Clienti.
The bike has Marzocchi forks and Brembo 20.9883 (left) and 20.9884 (right) monoblock calipers.
The calipers have 100mm bolt spacing and four 34 mm pistons.
I have a 19 M/C.
I thought the Eva and Ego shared brake parts? But maybe a difference in years?
Have you measured your pistons?

The Corsa brochure says M4 calipers. But also 32/36 pistons, 108mm bolt spacing, and 7.1 mm rotors. That sure sounds like a GP4.
My bike came with 5mm rotors, and I've moved to 6mm - but I'd never fit 7mm rotors.
Maybe Aaron can chime in....

Interesting, indeed base M4 is not 32/36.
Although they designate a few calipers as M4

Ed from AF1 responded to my email and said that number 15 is year of casting. Not bore.
He thinks the bore is 17mm
Bore spec is stamped under the reservoir bracket. Here is a pic. 15mm
That being the case, perhaps I will go with a 14mm:

Ed from AF1 told me that the calipers are M430 not M50
-
That number is a production batch code not a bore size. For instance on my 19, its marked with "22".
Brembo would spec a 19 for a dual caliper 34mm piston setup, and a 17 m/c for a dual 30.
Brembo would say that a 14 is for a single caliper setup and will pull to the handlebar before stopping a dual caliper bike.

Yep, corrected the above. Ed from AF1 said it is year of casting (the 15) and thinks the bore is a 17mm

I think you want to measure your pistons. If you have OEM Energica calipers, I'd expect you have 34mm pistons.

I guess I will have to do that.
If they are 34 MM piston calipers, and they are OEM, then the master would need to be a 19 bore not a 17.
I appreciate your help very much.
This is what Ed wrote to me:
Should be a 17mm,
they are M430 calipers which takes the RCS17 on other applications
Same calipers and pads as 17-20 Tuono, where we suggest a 17mm RCS as well

Great info. I will measure the pistons.
The 18mm Magura Hc1 is now looking like a good option for what I am trying to do.
Very strange that Ed at AF1 does not have this info, and strange that it is not published. Seems important to know!
THANKS!

The calipers measure 30mm.
Found a marking on the OEM master that says 18. That seems likley to be the bore designation.
Since I am not sure if I want a 17 or a 16 bore, I think I will start the experiment with a Nissin 17 mm master, which is good quality made in Japan kit, and it will at least give me an idea if I am heading in the right direction in terms of ideal bore size for the calipers.

The 17mm nissin master works nicely compared to the 18mm that was on there. Softer lever, better modulation for my taste. 16mm will be too soft for me so I will stick with the 17mm.
With dual 4 piston 30mm calipers:
18 mm was a 20 ratio
17 mm provides a 24 ratio
16 mm would be 28:1
30:1 - soft feel
27:1 - sweet spot
23:1 - firm feel
20:1 - wooden feel
