About this product
The ZOOM DB-680 Double Piston Mechanical Disc Brake Caliper is an aluminum single caliper unit designed for the front wheel of various bikes including BMX, City, Cyclocross, Folding, Mountain, Touring, and Trekking bikes. Finished in black, this mechanical disc brake offers a lightweight solution for those needing a front brake. Its double-piston design aims to provide effective stopping power for a range of cycling disciplines.
Our take
The ZOOM DB-680 caliper stands out with its double piston design, which generally offers more even pad wear and better braking performance compared to single-piston mechanical brakes. I appreciate its lightweight aluminum construction, making it a good choice for riders conscious about bike weight. The wide compatibility across many bike types is also a major plus. However, this product is explicitly a 'Front Caliper Only,' so you'll need to purchase a separate unit for the rear wheel, or if you need both. Also, being a mechanical disc brake, it won't offer the fine modulation or ultimate power of a hydraulic system, which is a trade-off for its simplicity and price.
