Folks,
Based on what the title says which one should I go for my bike (2013 Street Triple R) ? Brembo recommends 19 RCS in their website while some of my friends recommend the 17. I'd prefer a linear feel.
Just in case if someone is wondering, the Pads and Lines are sorted out.
Thanks,
Chandramouli
 
What calipers are on that bike? I have the 19 for my Brembo M50 calipers and the 19 RCS. I have it set to a more progressive feel but it can be set to be linear as well. Feel at the lever is great for me and that combo stops very well.

I'm not sure at the moment, I need to check, Btw, it's stock what came with the bike.
 
Brembo 17 or 19 numbers correspond to piston bore... the bore diameter determines how the lever feels.

Bore:
The bigger the area of the bore, the less pressure is generated
for a given input lever force. The smaller the bore area, the more
pressure can be generated from that same input force...

The bigger the area of the bore, the less stroke required to move a
given volume. The smaller the bore area, the more stroke is required
to move that same volume.
