Engineered for front wheel use on flat mount forks, it features an adapter that allows quick switching between 140mm and 160mm rotors, offering versatility without compromise. Its lightweight forged calliper design ensures rigidity while maintaining minimal weight, enhancing your bike’s overall performance and handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEquipped with oversized 22mm ceramic pistons, this brake caliper excels in heat insulation, reducing brake fade during intense rides. The opposed 2-piston configuration minimizes the leading effect, ensuring consistent and optimal pad wear. With a 10% increase in pad-to-rotor clearance compared to previous models, the risk of rotor drag is significantly reduced, resulting in smoother, more efficient braking. The direct flat mount and open design simplify wheel changes, making maintenance effortless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShimano’s innovative one-way internal fluid circuit streamlines the bleeding process, combined with a separate bleed port and valve screw for further ease of service. Using mineral oil brake fluid ensures non-corrosive and safer operation. This caliper is recommended for pairing with Ice Tech FREEZA Center Lock RT-MT900 rotors, which, along with the resin compound aluminium radiation fin pad, greatly improve heat dissipation by lowering brake surface temperatures by up to 50°C. Inline hose routing preserves the sleek, low-profile aesthetics of your setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProviding consistent, high-performance braking in all weather conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEasy switching between 140mm and 160mm rotors for versatile front wheel setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducing heat buildup and brake fade with ceramic pistons and advanced heat dissipation technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuick wheel replacement thanks to direct flat mount and open caliper design\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSimple maintenance with one-way internal fluid circuit and separate bleed port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s NOT Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse on rear wheels or non-flat mount brake systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatibility with rotors outside the recommended Ice Tech FREEZA Center Lock RT-MT900 range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRiders seeking mechanical brake systems instead of hydraulic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApplications requiring rotor sizes other than 140mm or 160mm without additional adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this brake caliper compatible with all road bikes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is specifically designed for front wheels with flat mount forks and requires compatible rotors, particularly Ice Tech FREEZA Center Lock RT-MT900 for optimal performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow easy is it to maintain the hydraulic system?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe one-way internal fluid circuit along with the separate bleed port and valve screw makes bleeding the brake fluid straightforward, reducing maintenance time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shimano Dura-Ace","offers":[{"title":"140-160mm \/ Black \/ Front","offer_id":45496037605551,"sku":"BRR9270F","price":134.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"140-160mm \/ Black \/ Rear","offer_id":45496037638319,"sku":"BRR9270R","price":134.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/1630566027-99080900.jpg?v=1768523459","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/shimano-br-r9270-dura-ace-flat-mount-hydraulic-calliper-front-brake-without-rotor","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
