Disc brake calipers retract primarily due to the elastic properties of the rubber seals around the piston. When brake pressure is released, these seals help pull the piston back slightly, away from the brake pad, allowing the pads to disengage from the rotor. This retraction is minimal, just enough to prevent continuous contact with the rotor while ensuring the brakes are ready for the next application.
