Default Re: Master cylinder question

With all other aspects the same...
a smaller MC bore will require more stroke with less effort to reach equal braking pressure (providing the volume is still adequate).


a larger bore MC will require less stroke with more effort to reach equal braking pressure (larger is required when caliper volumes are greater)


Larger- multi piston style calipers "generally" have more piston area so they will provide more brake application force at lower pressures. ie. they work in conjunction with the larger bore MC.
