About this product
This is a mechanical disc brake caliper designed for mountain bikes, available for either front (F180) or rear (R160) positions. Constructed from aluminum, this black brake unit provides a disc braking solution for improved stopping power. Weighing 0.2lb, it offers a compact design with dimensions of 90mm length, 1.2 inches width, and 30mm height. It is compatible specifically with mountain bike types.
Our take
For mountain bikers seeking an upgrade from rim brakes, this mechanical disc brake caliper presents an affordable entry point. The aluminum construction helps keep the weight down to a mere 0.2lb, which is always a plus. It's a single caliper, so you'll need to specify if you want it for the front (F180) or rear (R160) which is important to note for rotor compatibility. While mechanical disc brakes won't offer the modulation of hydraulics, they are a significant step up from V-brakes in terms of all-weather performance. It's a practical choice for a budget-conscious mountain bike build or upgrade.
