The utility model provides a brake caliper and a saddle-type vehicle having the same; by using the brake caliper, the size of a piston in axial direction can be compacted as much as possible, and thus vehicle parts can be easy to configure on the side surface of the piston. The brake caliper comprises a caliper body (10) fixed at the side of a vehicle body; a first piston (12), which is placed in the caliper body (10) and acts according to hydraulic pressure; a second piston (13), which is placed in the caliper body (10) and acts mechanically through a mechanical brake mechanism (25); a brake block, which is used for clamping a brake disc (7) corresponding to the action of the first piston (12) or the second piston (13) to apply brake force to the brake disc (7); the first piston (13) and the second piston (13) are respectively configured to be parallel with own, and are separated in the direction perpendicular to each own axial direction.
