2011 R1

Description

A lightweight brake with a heavyweight punch. With a standard weight of 279g (160mm rotor, front, post mount)  and a fighting weight of 261g (when upgraded with a carbon lever and titanium screws), the R1 is the lightest brake in the industry. The forged radial master cylinder and 1-piece caliper gives the R1 durability and power. Pack the punch your bike needs with the R1′s superior performance and modulation.
