SHIMANO BR-R561 Front Rim Brake Caliper

Elevate your road cycling experience with the SHIMANO BR-R561 Front Rim Brake Caliper, a component engineered for cyclists who demand reliable stopping power and precise control. This brake caliper is the perfect upgrade for your road bike, offering a significant enhancement in braking performance for training, commuting, or long-distance touring. Built on Shimano´s legacy of quality and innovation, the BR-R561 provides the confidence you need to tackle steep descents and navigate busy urban environments with ease. Its sleek black finish adds a touch of professional style to any bike build, blending seamlessly with a wide range of frame designs.

At the heart of the BR-R561 is Shimano´s proven Super SLR (Shimano Linear Response) Dual-Pivot design. This advanced mechanism reduces friction within the caliper, lever, and cable, resulting in a light, responsive feel at the brake lever. The dual-pivot construction ensures that the caliper arms move symmetrically, applying even and consistent pressure to both sides of the rim. This pincer-like action, reminiscent of precise tweezers, translates into superior braking modulation, allowing you to finely control your speed without a harsh, grabbing sensation. You gain powerful stopping force when you need it and subtle speed adjustments when you don´t, making for a safer and more enjoyable ride.

Designed for practicality and modern road cycling standards, the BR-R561 features cartridge brake pads. This system allows for quick and effortless replacement of the brake pad inserts without needing to realign the entire brake shoe, saving you time and hassle during maintenance. The caliper comes equipped with R55C3 brake pads, known for their excellent performance in dry conditions and reliable stopping power. Furthermore, this Rim Brake caliper is designed with generous clearance, officially accommodating a maximum tire size of up to 28mm. This versatility allows you to run wider, more comfortable tires, which is ideal for endurance riding and tackling less-than-perfect road surfaces. A sturdy, easy-to-access quick-release lever makes wheel removal for transport or flat tire repairs a swift and simple task.

Whether you are building a new road bike from the ground up, restoring a classic frame, or simply seeking a cost-effective yet powerful braking upgrade, the SHIMANO BR-R561 Front Rim Brake Caliper delivers exceptional value and dependable performance ride after ride.
