In this section you will find a wide selection of brake calipers from the best brands, personally chosen by our workers given their quality guarantees and their experience in the field. That's why our selection of caliper brakes is among the best on the market, as we only sell products that we know we can trust.
Caliper brakes (caliper brakes) are the classic cable-actuated side-pull brakes, they mount at a single point above the wheel and are almost ubiquitous on road bikes.
The caliper brake is a kind of cable-actuated brake in which the brake is mounted at a single point above the wheel, which theoretically allows the arms to be automatically centered on the rim. The arms extend around the rim and end in brake shoes that press against the rim. While some designs incorporate dual pivot points (the arms pivot on a subframe), the entire assembly still mounts at a single point.
Caliper brakes tend to become less effective as the tires widen and thus deepen, reducing the mechanical advantage of the brakes. Therefore, caliper brakes are rarely found on modern mountain bikes. But they are almost ubiquitous on road bikes, particularly the dual-pivot side-pull caliper brake.
