A braking device for a vehicle capable of resulting in an increased driving comfort is provided. The braking device may have a brake disc of a disc brake for rotating about a rotation axis, in which the disc may have a disc body. The disc body may have a braking band having opposite braking surfaces and at least one connection portion for connecting the disc to a connection device of a vehicle associable with the braking device. The braking band defines an axial direction parallel to the rotation axis of the brake disc, a radial direction orthogonal to the axial direction and a tangential or circumferential direction orthogonal both to the axial direction and to the radial direction. The connection portion is connected to the braking band by connecting elements, the connecting elements being a plurality of elements equally spaced apart in circumferential direction.

Braking device

A brake caliper and hub bracket assembly for a disc brake of a vehicle, comprising at least one caliper and at least one hub bracket, the brake caliper comprising a caliper body comprising a first elongated element, or vehicle side elongated element, suitable for directly or indirectly facing said first braking surface of the brake disc by at least a first brake pad, and a second elongated element, or wheel side elongated element, opposed to the vehicle side elongated element and suitable for directly or indirectly facing said second braking surface of the brake disc by at least a second brake pad. The vehicle side elongated element comprises at least a first thrust means seat suitable for receiving a piston for exerting a thrust action on the at least first brake pad. The wheel side elongated element comprises at least a second thrust means seat suitable for receiving a piston for exerting a thrust action on the at least second brake pad. The caliper body comprises at least one side caliper bridge suitable for straddling the brake disc, the caliper side bridge connecting the vehicle side elongated element and the wheel side elongated element. The hub bracket comprises a hub bracket body connected to at least one portion of the caliper body, the hub bracket body comprising at least one coupling surface suitable for coupling to at least one bearing for supporting a wheel hub connectable to the brake disc and to a wheel of the vehicle.
