Genuine Brembo RCS19 vs Fake – How to Spot the Difference

🛑 Genuine Brembo RCS19 vs Fake – How to Spot the Difference

The Brembo RCS19 Brake Master Cylinder is one of the most counterfeited motorcycle parts on the market due to its popularity and premium price. Buying a fake not only wastes your money — it can seriously compromise your safety.

Here’s how to tell the difference between a genuine Brembo RCS19 and a fake one:

✅ Key Signs of a Genuine Brembo RCS19

1. Comes with an official Brembo box

   • High-quality packaging

   • Part number clearly printed (e.g., 110A26310 or 110C74010 for Corsa Corta)

2. Has a Brembo authenticity card with scratch code

   • You can verify the code at original.brembo.com

3. CNC machining is precise and clean

   • No rough edges

   • Laser-etched markings are sharp and clean

4. The RCS switch (red dial) moves smoothly with a ‘click’

   • Marked “18” and “20” for adjustable ratio

   • The fake ones often have poor rotation feel or inaccurate font

5. Genuine Brembo lever has perfect finish & curve

   • Some fakes have oddly shaped or misaligned levers

🚫 Common Signs of a Fake RCS19

• No scratch card or Brembo serial number

• Cheap-quality levers, often painted instead of anodized

• RCS dial feels loose or doesn’t click properly

• Wrong font on “Brembo” logo or engraving is too shallow/deep

• Priced suspiciously low (under USD $200 new is a red flag)

• Sold without box or with poor replica packaging
