Description
The R1 is the premiere race level disc brake, combining an astonishingly low weight with top level power and performance.

The lightest version weights only 263g which that includes rotor and all mounting hardware ? the lightest disc brake ever made!!! The forged master cylinder (M/C) body and caliper provide increased durability, braking power and modulation. Designed as a race level XC brake with more than enough power for the All Mountain/Enduro application.

Pros: Superlight, Great modulation and single finger works fine. Sexy looking brakes as well. No issues installing and using them with quiet operation

Cons: none

Recommendation: Great brakes for those who are into XC - Trail riding.. Use either the 6 - 7inch rotor for best results.
