The present invention relates to a brake assembly (1) for braking at least one wheel of a vehicle, comprising:a brake disc (10) rotatably supported about a rotational axis (R) having a disc center plane (DCP) perpendicular to the rotational axis (R),a caliper (40) having a caliper plane (CP) extending substantially perpendicular to the disc center plane (DCP) and in parallel to a plane formed by the rotational axis (R) and a direction (y) perpendicular to the rotational axis (R) within the disc center plane (DCP),at least one brake pad (20a, 20b) arranged in the caliper (40) to face a radial surface side of the brake disc (10) with respect to the rotational axis (R), andan actuation assembly (30) operatively connected to the at least one brake pad (20a, 20b) to move the at least one brake pad (20a, 20b) toward the radial surface side of the brake disc (10), whereinthe actuation assembly (30) comprises a lever member (32) rotatably supported about a lever turning axis (32') to transfer a rotational movement of the lever member (32) into a translational movement of the at least one brake pad (20a, 20b) toward the brake disc (10), and whereinthe lever turning axis (32') extends in a direction substantially in parallel to the disc center plane (DCP) and substantially perpendicular the caliper plane (CP).
