Abstract
A disc brake including a torque bearing member which slidably supports an inner pad and an outer pad which are positioned on the opposite sides of a brake disc, respectively. The torque bearing member has outer pad guide portions, each of which establishes surface-to-surface contact with the outer pad. As a result, wear of the outer pad guide portions is improved despite the frequent sliding movement of the outer pad along the outer pad guide portions, thus extending the service life of a disc brake.
