Shimano Ultegra BR-R8000 Rim Brake Caliper

The Shimano Ultegra R8000 series caliper brakes offer a clear contact feeling while balancing rigidity, weight, and stopping power. With increased clearance for 28mm tires, the sleek design is still fetching. They are available in traditional and direct mount options.

Technology

SLR-EV

SLR-EV is SLR with a dual symmetric pivot brake caliper. The short-arm brake design employs two bearings and a roller to realize greater efficiency in the pivot area and deliver superior modulation and power for braking. Together with the BC-9000 brake cable, the latest calipers deliver 36% more braking power than Shimano’s previous brake model. And we offer 2 axle symmetric brake caliper and fork mount and chain stay mount type (BR-R9100 / 6810 / 5810).

Dual-Pivot caliper

The dual-pivot design realized a lightweight, compact and durable braking system. Dual-pivot caliper brake have made considerable progress in reduction of tolerance and deflection as well as in durability. They have achieved firm and instantaneous braking response while assuring longer service life. Moreover, the brake pads have an improved durability of 100% to help enjoy high-response braking over longer periods.
