Shimano BR-R7170 105 Brake Caliper w/ Resin Pads

Shimano 105 R7170 Brake Caliper - Quiet, powerful, secure braking

The hydraulic R7170 flat mount disc brake caliper from Shimano's 105 R7100 road bike series has 10% more brake pad clearance than its predecessor model. This minimises the likelihood of grinding noises and thus results in a quieter braking process. The powerful, excellently controllable braking power ensures reliable deceleration and brings you to a safe stop in all conditions. You also benefit from the user-friendly bleeding process, also known as One-Way Bleeding. With its flat mount design, the two-piece aluminium brake caliper also blends in perfectly with the overall appearance of your bike. It comes with organic brake pads that contribute to improved heat dissipation with their Ice Tech cooling fins. By the way, the R7170 does not weigh more than the comparable Ultegra model.

Technology:

One Way Bleeding
One Way Bleeding is a technique used on Shimano calipers that facilitates brake bleeding. The hose routing has been optimised so that no air bubbles remain in the brake calliper. In combination with the funnel, the brake can be bled cleanly and easily.
