World-Class Lightweight Caliper<\/span><\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

To achieve both high rigidity and lightness, we use high-strength super duralumin and precisely machine nearly every part of the caliper. At just 136g<\/strong> including brake pads (flat-mount type), it is among the lightest mechanical disc brake calipers in the world. Even with cables included, the total system weight rivals that of top-tier hydraulic brake systems. This makes it a great choice for serious racers and hill climbers who are concerned about every gram.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n

The brake system is designed as a whole, including cables and pads.
\nWith a special hard outer casing that resists deformation, it provides high transmission efficiency<\/strong>.
\nThe inner cable is a low-friction stainless steel cable with a low-friction coating, delivering light pull effort<\/strong>.
\nThe brake pads are co-developed with Vesrah, using resin-based ceramic semi-metallic (EVO RESIN) friction material and aluminum backplates, offering high braking power and durability<\/strong>.
\nAll the necessary brake performance is delivered with high quality, and everything comes as a complete set.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n

About Kashima Coat<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Kashima Coat is a high-performance surface treatment that combines hard anodizing with molybdenum disulfide, a solid lubricant, to reduce friction and enhance wear resistance.<\/p>\n

With its high surface hardness and resistance to scratching,\nit is well suited for sliding components and parts that require high durability.<\/p>\n

In the bicycle industry, Kashima Coat has been widely used in demanding applications\nsuch as MTB suspension components, where repeated sliding and contact occur,\nand is known for its proven reliability and performance in harsh conditions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n

EQUAL Brake and Kashima Coat<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

For the EQUAL brake caliper, Kashima Coat is applied to the caliper body itself.
\nIts high surface hardness makes it resistant to scratches, helping to reduce scuffs\nand dirt that can occur during use and maintenance, and allowing the appearance\nto be maintained over a longer period of time.<\/p>\n

In addition, Kashima Coat is also used on the piston and components around the brake pad.
\nIts excellent wear resistance and lubricating properties help suppress performance changes\nover long-term use, maintaining stable braking feel.
\nAs a result, braking feel is also improved.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n

Stable Piston Movement<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

By applying Kashima Coat to the piston assembly, wear resistance at the sliding surfaces is enhanced.
\nIts high wear resistance and lubricating properties make a greaseless piston design possible.
\nThis helps reduce the risk of grease or other oils contaminating the brake pads or brake rotor.
\nAs a result, performance changes over long-term use are minimized, maintaining a stable and consistent braking feel.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n

Smooth Brake Pad Movement<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Kashima Coat applied to the entire caliper also extends to the areas that come into contact with the brake pads.
\nBy reducing friction at the points where the pads are pressed during braking, pad movement becomes smoother.
\nThis results in improved control during braking, and is particularly effective under strong braking forces.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n

A Unique Finish for Every Piece<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Kashima Coat is not intended for decorative purposes, but is a surface treatment focused on functionality.<\/p>\n

Due to its processing characteristics, subtle variations in color tone and appearance occur from part to part.
\nThis is one of the defining features of Kashima Coat.<\/p>\n

No two pieces share exactly the same finish.
\nThese individual differences are part of what makes Kashima Coat unique, and we hope they will be appreciated as one of its distinctive qualities.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\r\n\r\n
