2012 SRAM Red Aero Link Brake Calipers
In a sport where the beauty and efficiency of speed is of the essence, it’s no simple task to inject any semblance of sex appeal into a device whose entire role is to defuse that speed. The original SRAM Red Brakes were sleek and attractive enough, but there was little to differentiate between ...read more
2011 SRAM Red Black Brake Calipers
SRAM figured as long as their Red group functioned at the highest level, why not address the aesthetic? That's exactly what Red Black is all about; it's not about how it works. These Red Black Brake Calipers are exactly like their metallic Red counterparts, save for the black anodized, ...read more
2011 SRAM Red Brake Calipers
Red Brake Calipers take their inspiration from the "skeletonized" dual-pivot design of Force. SRAM does extensive machining to Red to make them over 10% lighter than Dura-Ace, and to save you an added 10g in comparison to Force. They're ungodly light by production standards, with two nice ...read more
2012 SRAM Force Brake Calipers
From afar, Force looks like Red's twin, much in the way Rival used to look like Force's twin. The big change is that the arms that support the brake cable-housing stop look thinner, more graceful. From the side, the cutouts are bigger. They call it a "skeletonized" design. The differences that ...read more
2012 SRAM Rival Brake Calipers
From component to component the storyline between Force and Rival is the same: Force and Rival products are mechanically and functionally very closely matched. The only meaningful distinction is their weight. Rival provides similar lock-up power and speed modulation as Force; they're built with ...read more

They've undergone a few design improvements, and though they gained one whole gram, the performance benefits resulting from the sweeping changes make these XX Disc Brakes a whole new system and more worthy than ever to wear the brand's ...read more
2011 Avid XX Disc Brake
We've heard the Avid XX Disc Brake compared to the Avid (owned by SRAM) Elixir CR and the Avid Juicy Ultimate.

2012 Avid X0 Silver Disc Brake

2011 Avid X0 Disc Brake
To undiscerning eyes, Avid's X0 Disc Brake might look just like their top-of-the-line XX brake other than the finish color. While they're closely related, there are a few key differences that set them apart. And it must be noted that the differences pertain mainly to weight as the ...read more
2012 Shimano Dura-Ace BR-7900 Brake Calipers
We've been accused of over-interpreting things in the past, and maybe that's exactly what we're doing here.

Sure, we remember the ...read more
2012 Shimano Ultegra BR-6700-G Brake Calipers
The smoky grey color is the only difference between these Ultegra BR-6700-G Brake Calipers and their standard 6700 counterparts. The 'G' in the name denotes the color. We like the darker ano, and it's a match with the Di2 Ultegra parts as well. Shimano's Servo-Wave technology is what has ...read more
2012 Shimano Ultegra BR-6700 Brake Calipers
Servo-Wave. This unique Shimano feature has now made its way into road brakes and can be found when you mate these Ultegra BR-6700 brake calipers with the ST-6700 brake levers.

2011 Shimano XTR Race Brake M985
After we rode these XTR Race Brakes M985 for the first time, we realized that Shimano has got their groove back. If you rode with the old four piston XT brakeset, you'd have fond memories of the perfect lever feel and the power at the disc. This blend of characteristics has been largely missing ...read more
2011 Shimano XTR Trail Brake M988
Just as you can get XTR Cranksets in two versions, Race 2x10 and Trail 3x10, the brakes are available to match. And with the wholesale design change from the previous 970 brakes, the performance is more akin to the Shimano brakes we relied on for years, and they weren't recent models either. ...read more
2012 Shimano XT Disc Brake M785
These Shimano XT Disc Brakes M785 are a big improvement over old XT brakes. At first glance you'll see how they use an in-line master cylinder as opposed to the radial design of the M-775.

2012 Campagnolo Super Record 11 Skeleton Brake Calipers
This is an interesting option Campagnolo has re-introduced with the new model year. A brake set with both front AND rear dual-pivot calipers. For years, Campagnolo has been telling us that a rear dual-pivot brake is too powerful and that a single-pivot both reduces the power and sheds weight. Now ...read more
2012 Campagnolo Super Record 11 D Skeleton Brake Calipers
There's little question that Campagnolo's Skeleton design was a nail in the coffin of companies like Zero Gravity. That a forged brake set can be nearly as light and much stronger and far more durable than a machined brake set takes away just about all of the advantages that the ultra-light ...read more
2012 Campagnolo Record 11 Skeleton Brake Calipers
For years, Campagnolo has been telling us that a rear dual-pivot brake is too powerful and that a single-pivot both reduces the power and sheds weight.

2012 Campagnolo Chorus 11 D Skeleton Brake Calipers

2012 eecycleworks eebrake calipers
It's been a long while since we've endorsed a non-corporate brakeset. By that we mean something that hasn't come from the big three -- Campagnolo, Shimano, or SRAM. It boils down to performance.

2011 TRP CX8.4 Mini LP Ti Brakeset
