A disk brake is a type of braking system that uses a rotor and caliper to stop the rotation of a wheel, providing efficient and responsive stopping power for vehicles. It consists of a disc-shaped rotor attached to the wheel hub and a caliper that clamps onto the rotor when the brake pedal is pressed, creating friction to slow down or stop the vehicle. Disk brakes are commonly used in cars, motorcycles, and bicycles for improved braking performance.
