Avid’s two-piece forged aluminum caliper has an easy-to-use Tri-Align system that makes it easy to increase or decrease stopping power in just a few minutes, and comes with a G2 Clean Sweep rotor that serves up serious all-weather stopping power without the sketchiness or delay of rim brakes. The rotor is available in 140mm or 160mm, attaches with a classic six-bolt configuration, and is designed to work well with short-pull road brake systems.
