EQUAL mechanical disc brakes offer the reliability and ease of maintenance unique to mechanical systems—while also delivering world-class stopping power and lightness. They perform reliably even under the intense braking demands of road racing and cyclocross. They also provide dependable support when dealing with issues while traveling by bike or on long-distance rides. This next-generation braking system is designed for ease of use across a wide range of riding situations.

To achieve both high rigidity and lightness, Equal use high-strength super duralumin and precisely machine nearly every part of the caliper. At just 136g 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.

The brake system is designed as a whole, including cables and pads. With a special hard outer casing that resists deformation, it provides high transmission efficiency. The inner cable is a low-friction stainless steel cable with a low-friction coating, delivering light pull effort. The 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. All the necessary brake performance is delivered with high quality, and everything comes as a complete set.

Equipped with the world’s first brake leverage adjustment function. The brake power can be adjusted to suit your weight and preference. Whether you want to emphasize control or increase the initial braking power, you can do it as you like.

Equal paid attention to the cable routing. Optimal cable routing reduces sliding resistance, resulting in a lighter lever pull and improved transmission efficiency. It also makes installation easier and looks better.
