Abstract
A brake caliper for a disc brake having a caliper body, a brake pad and at least one retraction device of the brake pad from a braking disc is described. The device is configured to retract the brake pad from at least one of opposite braking surfaces delimited by the braking disc. The caliper body delimits a first pad abutment surface to delimit a tapered space with the braking surface of the braking disc, the first pad abutment surface being oriented so that, during the braking action, the surface guides the brake pad wedging in the tapered space. The brake pad delimits a retraction surface, inclined in a non-orthogonal direction with respect to the pad plane and oriented so that, during the retraction action, the brake pad is guided partially outside of the tapered space.
