Upgrade Motorsport Spherical Bearing Master Cylinder Trilogy

Upgrade Motorsport Master Cylinder Trilogy is Complete


The Essential Brake Upgrade for Race Cars, Drift Cars, Rally Cars, Track Cars and Formula Student Builds.

Three master cylinders with yellow caps are shown. Text reads "In Stock, Order Today, The Trilogy is Complete" on a black background.

Every successful motorsport project starts with confidence in the braking system. Whether you are competing in drifting, rally, circuit racing, hillclimb, time attack, Formula Student or you are building a high performance track or kit car, brake feel and brake balance are critical to how a vehicle performs.


The Upgrade Motorsport Master Cylinder Trilogy is now complete - Three bore sizes - One proven motorsport design.



Each model uses our self aligning spherical bearing to eliminate side loading and deliver the smooth, predictable pedal feel that motorsport drivers need.


Comparable to AP Racing, Alcon and Tilton But Priced for Grassroots Motorsport

The Upgrade Motorsport Spherical Bearing Master Cylinder range has earned strong feedback from drivers and builders because the quality sits confidently alongside premium motorsport brands such as AP Racing, Alcon and Tilton.

The machining accuracy, the smooth self aligning bearing movement and the long term reliability place these cylinders firmly in the same performance category.

The only difference is cost:

We believe grassroots racers, club competitors, drift drivers, rally teams and Formula Student engineers deserve high level components without the heavy price tag. That is why every Upgrade Spherical Bearing Master Cylinder is offered at a fair and realistic price that makes professional grade braking hardware accessible to everyone.

Motorsport Proven Spherical Bearing Technology

Traditional master cylinders rely on a fixed point which introduces unwanted side load into the piston. Under motorsport conditions this affects seal life, pedal consistency and braking precision. Upgrade Motorsport master cylinders use a high quality spherical bearing to eliminate side load completely.


This delivers:

  • Smooth linear pedal travel

  • More consistent braking force

  • Longer piston and seal life

  • Improved modulation for threshold braking

  • Reliability under extreme motorsport temperatures


This is why drivers in drifting, rally, Formula Student, touring cars and track day builds choose spherical bearing master cylinders for better control under pressure.


Choosing the Right Size

How MC.625, MC.7 and MC.75 Improve Motorsport Braking. Each bore size provides a different hydraulic characteristic which allows builders to tune the braking system to the vehicle.


Upgrade Spherical Bearing MC.625

A popular choice for drift cars, lightweight circuit cars, Formula Student and hydraulic handbrake setups. A smaller bore increases line pressure which gives a very responsive feel.

Ideal for:

  • Adjustable pedal box systems

  • Hydraulic handbrakes in drifting

  • Lightweight kit cars, sprint cars and autocross builds

  • Drivers who want a softer pedal with stronger initial bite


Upgrade Spherical Bearing MC.7

The most balanced option in the trilogy. This size provides the ideal middle ground between pressure and fluid displacement.

Ideal for:

  • Track day cars and club racing builds

  • Rally cars that require consistent pedal feel

  • Performance road to track conversions

  • Formula Student teams seeking predictable modulation


Upgrade Spherical Bearing MC.75

The newest release and the final piece of the trilogy. This larger bore produces more fluid volume and a firmer pedal.

Ideal for:

  • Front brake circuits with larger multi piston calipers

  • Clutch master cylinder conversions

  • Heavy or high grip cars that require stronger pedal definition

  • Drivers who prefer a solid, immediate pedal response


Brake Bias Tuning in Adjustable Pedal Box Assemblies

Adjustable pedal box systems with a balance bar are used throughout motorsport including drifting, rallying, hillclimb, touring cars, track cars and Formula Student.The three Upgrade Spherical Bearing master cylinder sizes give drivers and engineers a powerful tool for tuning brake bias.


Using bore size for hydraulic bias control

  • Smaller bore on the rear circuit - Upgrade Spherical Bearing MC.625 increases hydraulic pressure which helps stabilise the rear without premature lockup. This is ideal for drift cars and rally cars that rely on rotation.

  • Larger bore on the front circuit - Upgrade Spherical Bearing MC.75 increases volume for front multi piston calipers and gives stronger pedal feedback.

  • MC.7 for balanced systems - Upgrade Spherical Bearing MC.7 creates a neutral starting point which can then be fine tuned using the balance bar.


This approach gives:

  • Better rotation control for Rally and Drift cars

  • More confidence under heavy braking

  • Consistency for endurance, sprint and autocross

  • A predictable platform for driver development


Designed for Motorsport. Built to Last.

All Upgrade Motorsport master cylinders feature:

  • Anodised aluminium body

  • Precision machined internals

  • Motorsport grade spherical bearing

  • Lightweight construction only 130 grammes

  • High resistance to temperature and fluid pressure


Perfect for:

  • Drift teams

  • Rally teams

  • Formula Student university teams

  • Track day drivers• Kit car builders

  • Time attack and hillclimb competitors

  • Race car engineering students


Why the Trilogy Matters for Drivers and Teams

Many braking systems mix dhttp://language.Oneifferent brands or tolerances. This results in inconsistent pedal feel, unpredictable braking balance and unnecessary complexity.


The Upgrade Motorsport trilogy solves that:

  • Three sizes for tuning your braking system to perfection

  • One race proven design

  • One spherical bearing system

  • Perfect compatibility

  • Drivers get predictable pedal feel

  • Teams get easier setup

  • Builders get a professional braking solution
