Shimano CUES BR-U8000 Brake Caliper w/ Metal Pads

Shimano CUES BR-U8000 brake caliper with metal pads - Two-piston model for touring and city traffic

Shimano CUES BR-U8000 is a hydraulic disc brake caliper with two pistons and comes with sintered brake pads. It provides reliable, finely adjustable brake control on your touring or city bike. Compared to the four-piston version, you save approx. 10 grams of weight per wheel. BR-U8000 is made of lacquered aluminium and has a banjo connection for the brake hose. The brake pistons are made of heat-resistant ceramic. Thanks to the One-Way Bleeding technology, the bleeding process can be carried out cleanly, quickly and easily. The model is compatible with cooling-fin brake pads.
