BRAKE CALIPER

The present invention relates to a brake caliper (1, 1') for a disc brake (10) comprising a caliper body (2), a brake pad (3) and at least one retraction device (4) of the brake pad from a braking disc (5), said device (4) being configured to retract said brake pad (3) from at least one of opposite braking surfaces (6, 7) delimited by the braking disc (5). The brake pad (3) comprises a friction material (8) delimiting a pad plane (11) adapted to lean against the braking surface (6, 7) to exert a braking action on the braking disc (5), said brake pad (3) being adapted to receive a thrust alongan axial direction (X-X) by at least one thrust device (15) hosted in the caliper body (2). The caliper body (2) delimits a first pad abutment surface (12), inclined in a non-orthogonal direction withrespect to the pad plane (11) and with respect to said axial direction (X-X), to delimit a tapered space (13) with the braking surface (6, 7) of the braking disc (5), the first pad abutment surface (12) being oriented so that
