The Shimano BR-RS785 hydraulic disc brake calliper delivers outstanding stopping power tailored for road cyclists demanding precision and reliability. Designed for front or rear wheel use, this versatile component fits International Standard or Post mount setups with the addition of adapters, ensuring compatibility across various bike frames. Its forged calliper construction balances lightweight design with exceptional rigidity, providing confident braking without added bulk.
Equipped with oversized 22mm ceramic pistons, the calliper excels in heat insulation and stiffness, significantly reducing brake fade during intense rides. The opposed 2-piston layout minimizes leading effects and promotes even pad wear, resulting in smoother, more controlled braking. Its increased pad-to-rotor clearance helps prevent unwanted rotor drag, maintaining efficiency and feel throughout your ride.
Shimano’s innovative one-way internal fluid circuit simplifies the bleeding process, while the use of mineral oil brake fluid offers a safer, non-corrosive alternative to traditional hydraulic fluids. The shim-less mounting bracket enables quick installation and adjustment, making setup hassle-free. For optimal performance, pairing the BR-RS785 with Ice Tech FREEZA Centre-Lock SM-RT99 rotors enhances heat dissipation, further supported by the included resin compound F01A pad with aluminum radiation fins that reduce brake surface temperatures by up to 50°C.
Can this brake calliper be used on both front and rear wheels?
Yes, the BR-RS785 is designed for use on either front or rear wheels with the appropriate mounting adapters.
What type of brake fluid does this calliper require?
It uses Shimano mineral oil brake fluid, which is non-corrosive and safer compared to conventional hydraulic fluids.
