Brake caliper made by needle felting!

It is the brake caliper which adjusts a bike’s speed enclosing the disc plate that is attached to the wheel that spins at high speed with disc pads. We have completely reproduced an almost life-size brake caliper mounted on the YZF-R1M! It has a complex structure and an overwhelming presence.

Enjoy making this beautiful structure in felt which looks like it has been carved from metal!
