Piaggio 2691855 Rear Brake Shoes Ø110x25 – NRG, Typhoon 50, Gilera Storm, Zip

The Piaggio 2691855 rear brake shoes are the original pair for the Ø 110 × 25 mm rear drum of two-stroke 50cc scooters from the Piaggio group from the late nineties: Piaggio NRG, Piaggio Typhoon 50, Gilera Storm 50 and first-generation Piaggio Zip. Light alloy body with pre-attached friction material, ready for installation. Product code 2691855.

✓ Strengths

• Original Piaggio spare part – this is the 2691855 code listed in the catalog for NRG, Typhoon 50, Storm, and Zip, not an aftermarket equivalent with its own code.
• Complete pair – the package contains both rear drum shoes: everything needed to overhaul a scooter's brake.
• 110 × 25 mm size – the rear drum dimension for these 50cc models: no grinding, no adaptation.
• Light alloy body – ribbed casting with embossed markings, dark friction material applied over the entire working surface.
• Pre-fitted ends – the galvanized metal elements on the cam side are already mounted: just insert the shoes and reattach the return springs.

Technical features

Vehicle compatibility

The list refers to the official Piaggio spare parts catalog (B2B area). The drum size (110 mm) is the most reliable reference for verification: if you have doubts about the year or version, send us the VIN and we will check the correct code for you.

Perfect for whom

This is the spare part for those who keep a first-generation NRG, Typhoon 50, Storm or Zip on the road and notice that the rear brake lever almost reaches the grip, that the brake squeals or only bites at the very end: if the drum is still within tolerance, a pair of original brake shoes will restore braking to its original performance. It is for those who are refurbishing a late nineties 50cc scooter with the Piaggio code listed in the catalog, and for workshops that overhaul these scooters and prefer to fit the part with the same geometry and friction material as the original equipment.

Frequently asked questions

On which scooters are the Piaggio 2691855 brake shoes mounted?
The 2691855 code is listed in the Piaggio spare parts catalog for the rear brake of Piaggio NRG (including MC2, Extreme, MC3 and MC3 DT versions), Piaggio Typhoon 50 (50, X, XR and M.Y. 2004) and Gilera Storm 50 of the 1998-2005 generation, as well as the first series Zip up to 1997. The table above shows models, versions and years.

Where exactly are they located on the vehicle?
They operate inside the rear brake drum, on the wheel hub, on the engine side. They expand against the inner surface of the drum when the cam actuated by the left lever pushes them, and return to rest thanks to the return springs. To replace them, the rear wheel is removed and the drum is slid off.

How many brake shoes are needed and what does the package contain?
Two are needed, and the package contains both: the rear drum uses a pair of opposing brake shoes. With this item, you have everything you need to refurbish the rear brake of a scooter. The return springs are not included: if they are worn or rusted, they should be replaced separately.

Are they also suitable for Zip from 1998 onwards or for the newer Typhoon?
No. Code 2691855 covers the first-generation Zip, up to 1997, and the 1998-2005 series of NRG, Typhoon 50, and Storm. For Zip from 1998 onwards and for the new generation Typhoon 50, the Piaggio catalog provides brake shoes with a different code. If in doubt, write to us with your VIN.

Are they original Piaggio or an aftermarket equivalent?
They are the original Piaggio spare part with code 2691855, new and never mounted, the same as specified by the manufacturer for these scooters. They are not an equivalent with their own code: the light alloy body profile, mating dimensions, and friction material are the same as the original equipment. They are shipped from Italy with an invoice.

How can I be sure they are the right ones for my scooter?
Check that the model appears in the table with the correct year and, if possible, measure the inner diameter of the rear drum: it should be 110 mm with 25 mm wide brake shoes. The registration document shows the year of first registration, which helps distinguish the series. If in doubt, send us your VIN and we will verify it before purchase.
