Shimano 105 BR-R7170 brake caliper wheel

Brake caliper optimized for road use

The all-new hydraulic caliper has 10% more pad clearance than the 105 mechanical brake - that means less brake wear and less noise. In addition, bleeding the brake is easier and more maintenance-friendly.

highlights

• More compact design than its predecessors
• 10% more pad clearance reduces the risk of disc rubbing
• Maintenance-friendly venting process

Technologies used

In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses in this product.

ICE Technologies
Fading, which can occur in the brake disc and pad when braking continuously on long descents, impairs braking performance. Shimano has introduced ICE TECHNOLOGIES brake discs and ICE TECHNOLOGIES brake pads to create cooling technology for consistently high braking performance. The brake disc with its 3-layer sandwich structure made of stainless steel, aluminum and stainless steel offers better heat dissipation. The brake pads also have cooling fins. The construction of the disc in connection with the cooling fins results in a longer service life of the pad, less braking noise, less fading and a lower weight.

ONE WAY BLEEDING
ONE WAY BLEEDING was developed to quickly and easily prevent air from being trapped in the hydraulic system. Shimano has optimized the way the brake fluid is routed throughout the system to prevent air bubbles from getting stuck in the system. The one-way mineral oil path, together with the funnel for filling, allows for clean, hassle-free bleeding.
