A braking device having a stator (10) fixed to a vehicle by at least one fixing arm (5), a rotor (6) which comprises a first disc (13) and a second disc (16) and brake applying member (40,50). The first disc (13) and second disc (16) rotate with a wheel of the vehicle are fixed with respect to each other with the first disc (13) being located closer to the fixing arm (5). The braking applying member (40,50) has a fixed caliper (40) which is dedicated to braking the second disc (16) and a sliding caliper (50) which is dedicated to braking the first disc (13) to effecg a brake application.
