This lightweight model is a perfect solution for riders who want to take advance of some of the best Shimano technologies at an affordable price. Technologies: Dual-Pivot Caliper: A lightweight, compact and durable braking system. Dual-pivot caliper brakes have made considerable progress in the reduction of tolerance and deflection as well as in durability. They have achieved a firm and instantaneous braking response while assuring longer service life. Moreover, the brake pads have improved the durability of 100% to help enjoy high-response braking over longer periods. New Super SLR: SLR stands for Shimano Linear Response. The New Super SLR design makes use of a friction-reducing mechanism in the caliper, lever and cable that improve response and modulation. Also, for the lever, the Servo Wave mechanism is adapted to provide quick contact of your shoe to the rim and longer stroke from the initial braking effect for better control. SLR is the essential factor in the Shimano dual-pivot caliper that delivers more braking power than conventional side-pulls. Click here to view the Shimano Brake Reference Guide.
Ready for adventure, the GRX400 gives you hesitation-free operation as you tackle rough roads, gravel and mud. It features convenient tool access for simple wheel replacement and installation. Shimano has also made bleeding easy and clean thanks to its one way bleeding system, which prevents air from getting into the system. With a streamlined oil route throughout the system to prevent air bubbles from being captured, you'll enjoy more efficient maintenance when required. Taking your braking set-up a step further, this caliper's piston uses Ice Tech technologies which avoid the negative impacts of long rides, especially on downhill journeys. Furthermore, its technology does this by using ceramic material to avoid heat transfer for constant stable braking, providing efficient stopping power without loss.

This SRAM Level TL disc brake matches an alloy DirectLink™ lever to a lever body that contains the same technology found in the Level TLM, Level Ultimate and Guide series of brakes, for reliability and consistency you can count on. Intended Use: XC, Trail System: Open system Bend Zone™: Yes Ambidextrous: Yes Hardware: Stainless Steel Technologies: Direct Link: SRAM's DirectLink lever design produces a solid, positive feel the second you squeeze the lever to engage the brake. It offers a no-nonsense solution to give you precise control. DOT 5.1: Heat is an enemy of any brake system, so advancements in heat management mean advancements in your ride. SRAM found that in their systems DOT 5.1 takes almost three times longer to boil than DOT 4, thus allowing flawless, fade-free performance in even more extreme conditions. Expandable Bladder: SRAM's new brake lever design includes a reshaped bladder that helps regulate and reduce air bubbles. The bladder is specifically shaped to evacuate air from the lever and push the fluid exactly where it's needed. The result is improved backpressure relief, which produces dependable braking power and consistency. MatchMaker and MMX Compatible: Save weight and clutter on the bar with Matchmaker. It holds Avid levers, SRAM® triggers, and various RockShox® controls, all with one tidy, light, clamp--a dream come true for handlebar component footprint conservationists the world over. PiggyBack™ Reservoir: The brake fluid reservoir on SRAM's latest lever design is optimised for both performance and ease of use. The PiggyBack Reservoir offers a simple, failsafe way to manage brake fluid, and also allows for ambidextrous lever placement. Timing Port Closure: A hydraulic brake's timing port is the connection between the reservoir and the master cylinder bore. When the lever is squeezed, a cup seal passes this area and closes the port, which pressurises the system. SRAM's new timing port closure system features durable seals and an ultra-smooth cylinder bore finish, producing dependable braking power and consistency.
This Shimano BR-R8070 road bike disc brake caliper has a sleek design that integrates seamlessly into the profile of your modern bike.

This tough model is constructed from aluminium which makes it ideal for withstanding the abuse which comes with trail riding. Stable and versatile, you'll benefit from its superior modulation which gives you excellent control on the rowdier terrain sections. Furthermore, its quicker piston retraction delivers more accurate operation, so you can ride more efficiently and confidently. Technologies: Ice Technologies: The fade, which can occur to disc brake rotor and pad when braking on a long downhill ride, has a negative impact on the braking performance. Shimano has adopted Ice Technologies disc brake rotor and Ice Technologies pad to realise the cooling technology for consistent performance. The clad disc brake rotor blade, which has a 3 layer-sandwich structure of stainless steel, aluminium and stainless steel, provides better radiation performance achieving from 400˚C to 300˚C surface temperature. Also, the radiation fin has been adopted for the pad. Moreover, the clad disc brake rotor blade and the radiator fin provide long pad life, less noise, less fade and lightweight. One Way Bleeding: One Way Bleeding was developed for quick and easy prevention of air in our hydraulic system. We have streamlined the oil route throughout the system to prevent air bubbles from being captured in the system. One way oil routing plus a funnel tool with mineral oil provides an easy and clean bleeding system. Click here to view the Shimano Brake Reference Guide.
