Abstract
A disk brake has a support member, an inner pad, and an outer pad. The support member is mounted on a car body member at a side near a car body with respect to a disk rotor and straddles the disk rotor in a cantilever manner in a rotor axis direction. The inner pad is movably supported in the rotor axis direction by the support member at a side near the car body with respect to the disk rotor. The outer pad is movably supported in the rotor axis direction by the support member at an outer side of the car body with respect to the disk rotor. The outer pad has a smaller friction coefficient than that of the inner pad, and the braking torque generated between the outer pad and the disk rotor is smaller than the braking torque generated between the inner pad and the disk rotor.
