About this product

This is a single C caliper brake designed for road bicycles, folding bikes, and city bikes. Constructed from aluminum, it features a dual-pivot design for potentially improved braking performance. The brake comes in a distinctive gold color, offering a retro aesthetic. As an unbranded component, it targets a wide range of bicycle types, emphasizing its versatility for various urban and road cycling applications.

Our take

If you're looking to upgrade or replace a single caliper brake, this aluminum dual-pivot model could be an option, especially if you appreciate its retro gold finish. The aluminum construction suggests a decent balance of weight and durability. The dual-pivot design is a definite plus, generally providing more stopping power and better modulation compared to single-pivot brakes, which is important for city and road riding. However, it's sold as a single unit, so remember you'll need two for a complete bike setup. Given it's unbranded, expectations should be managed regarding long-term support or very high-end performance, but for its price point and material, it looks like a functional component.
