BB7 Mountain Mechanical Brake Caliper

Product Information

The Avid BB7 Mountain Mechanical Disc Brake Caliper is a go-to choice for riders seeking dependable, adjustable mechanical braking on the trail. Unlike many mechanical disc brakes, its standout feature is the dual-sided actuation, where both brake pads engage the rotor simultaneously. This provides consistent, powerful stopping performance that feels remarkably similar to hydraulic systems, but with the simplicity and ease of maintenance of a cable-actuated design.

This caliper excels in situations where reliability and user-friendly adjustments are paramount. Its robust construction and precise control make it a solid upgrade or replacement for a variety of mountain bikes, ensuring confident braking across diverse terrains without the complexities of hydraulics.

Features

• Tri-Align™ Caliper Positioning System™ for straightforward and precise caliper alignment.
• Inboard and outboard pad adjusters allow for fine-tuning pad clearance without tools.
