CNC Ultralight Brakes

SKU CNC ULTRALIGHT BRAKES

The new 7220 brake calipers offer a new patented design that will surely offer the demanding cyclist one of the best brake calipers on the market with incredibly low weight.

New Cam-Pivot design increases as the travel rate diminishes, providing braking without compromising caliper arm travel. Thus providing excellent brake modulation throughout the braking process, something standard calipers cannot provide. Compatible with all current road brake lever systems and cables.

  • Unique Patented Dual Pivot POWER CAM Mechanism - Offers excellent stopping power and brake modulation.
  • Ball Bearing Pivot design All Titanium and Aluminum alloy hardware.
  • Beautifully CNC machined from 7075 Aluminum alloy.
  • Computer optimized design to obtain the lowest weight without sacrificing braking power.
  • Brake-pad height adjustment ratio: 35-50 mm (measured from brake fixing-bolt to brake-shoe-nut)
  • CNC machined alloy brake pad holders - Standard wheel pads included Black anodized finish with Red Power Cam.
  • Laser engraved logo - no paint or stickers to get damaged.
  • Extra Brake nut - 25mm for carbon forks.
  • Uses Shimano compatible brake pad inserts
  • SOLD AS PAIRS
Weight (g) 205

 

Tips on fitting the calipers:
Mount the brake as centrally as possible using the main frame securing allen bolt.
The small allen key screw located in the central barrel which secures down on to the central pivot bolt is to assist in centring the caliper arms once the main securing bolt has been tightened.
There's also a small allen key grub screw on one of the caliper arms which tightens on to the main spring. Once the caliper has been centred using the main mounting bolt, the small allen grub screw can be used to 'fine-tune' the adjustment. By tightening it up, the tension on the spring will be increased and that caliper arm will move away from the rim. Loosen it off and the tension is released and the caliper arm will move towards the rim. It's very clever and kept some of us amused for hours. Want to save a few extra dollars? Choose the Forged Brakes (available in Black and Silver). Same fine quality as the CNC, only utilizing a forged process.

    I bought these brakes about two weeks ago after a lot of research. They were the closest in design and features to "Feather Brakes". They replaced Dura Ace 7700. I am very pleased. They have great modulation and excellent stopping power. Perhaps slightly less powerful than the Shimanos, however at my 145# weight I cannot honestly tell any difference. They are slightly more difficult to set up compared with dual pivot brakes. I changed the stock pads to Kool Stop pads which I prefer. Overall I give them 5 starrs for their performance and the significant weight savings. The price was amazing considering the level of finish and performance.

    Installed these brakes 2 weeks ago after much research. They perform very well; replacing Dura Ace 7700 I see very leittle performance degradation. Excellent modulation , plenty of power and no flex. Set up is more difficult than standard group brakes, although not significantly. The weight savings is fantastic for the price I give them 5 stars.

    I received by CNC Ultralight Brakes on the third day after placing my order. I actually won't be able to test them on a bike for a month or so, when I start my new build; but I can say that they look very high quality. The titanium finish is very classy. I have owned quite a few brake sets (Dura Ace, Ultegra, Cane Creek, TRP) and these certainly look equally fine quality, and are designed much lighter. The machining is a real work of art. They appear to be the bargain of the century. We'll see.... I will update this review adter riding on them some time.
