At 136g, the EQUAL Mechanical Disc Brake Caliper is among the lightest mechanical disc brake calipers in the world. Here is how we got there.
-Material: high strength super duralumin, precision machined.
-Design: every part trimmed of excess, with a part count equal to or lower than other mechanical calipers.
-Principle: built on a cam, not a screw mechanism.
-Balance: lighter prototypes lost stiffness and stopping power, so we stopped at 136g.
