A brake system includes a brake disc, rotary movable around a disc axis, and a brake mechanism. The brake mechanism includes a brake pad, movable in a first direction, a cylinder having a piston movable in a second direction, a lever rotary movable around a lever axis, the lever being connected to the piston, a cam element, arranged to convert a rotary motion of the lever around the lever axis, into a translation motion in the first direction, and a rod, expanding between the brake pad and the cam element. The lever, the cam element and the rod are housed in a housing. Considering a plane including the disc axis and the first direction, the lever axis is inclined relative to the plane, at an angle different from 90°.
