Dual Master Cylinder

The master cylinder contains two pistons that supply hydraulic pressure for a dual-circuit brake system. The primary piston provides the fluid pressure to the front brakes, while the secondary piston provides the fluid pressure to the rear brakes. If the pressure is lost from either system, the remaining system will function to stop the vehicle.
