The brake system employs a ring braking member and a suspended brake caliper having a responsive linkage correcting the caliper and a knuckle support arrangement. The ring braking member is preferably die cast as a single component with a control hub and is of a lightweight, high strength, high temperature aluminum composite material. The brake system is designed to have a relatively thick ring brake member of this lightweight material to provide sufficient capacity to absorb the heat of braking and transfer of this heat to the surrounding air prior to the ring brake reaching a temperature where damage is likely to occur. The normal operating temperature is well below the theoretical maximum temperature or rated temperature of the composite material.
