A disc brake includes a torque member for carrying a caliper relative to a rotor. The torque member forms a pair of arms defining a recess receiving a part of the caliper. A tie bar cooperates with the pair of arms to reduce deflection during braking and the tie bar is disposed adjacent that portion of the rotor cooperating with a pair of friction elements.
