TECHNOLOGIES USED
Dual Pivot
The dual pivot technology leads to weight-saving, compact and robust brakes. Especially the brakes from Dura Ace, Ultegra, 105 and Sora now offer maximum torsional rigidity and maximum load capacity with minimal tolerances. They respond precisely and without delay and the service life is significantly longer. Furthermore, the brake pads from Dura Ace, Ultegra and 105 have a 100% increased durability so that the driver can maintain the high performance of the brakes for longer.
SLR-EV
SLR-EV is a revised SLR with symmetrical dual pivot side-pull brake. A short arm brake design uses two bearings and a roller to achieve greater efficiency in the joint area and provide superior dosage and power when braking.
