  • THE ULTEGRA BR-R8170 BRAKE CALLIPER BY SHIMANO - MORE SPACE FOR BRAKE PADS


    With the Shimano BR-R8170 flat-mount brake caliper from the Ultegra road bike groupset, the brake pads have more free space than with the predecessor model, which prevents grinding of the brake rotor and reduces noise. The braking power of the two plastic pistons is tuned for competition use, but is just as suitable for leisure and training rides. In addition, BR-R8170 features a simple bleeding process thanks to One-Way Bleeding technology. The two-piece caliper design is made of lightweight aluminium and comes with Ice-Tech resin pads, which ensure particularly good heat dissipation thanks to their cooling fins. However, you can also ride it with conventional pads.



    FEATURES

    10% larger brake pad spacing minimises grinding of the brake rotor, less noise development
    Braking performance optimally tuned for racing and training use
    Coherent appearance and easy tool access thanks to flat mount
    Optimised heat dissipation with Ice-Tech
    Simple bleeding process
    2 pistons made of synthetic resin
    Painted

    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.
