In the past few years, the 200SL road brake has established itself as a staple of road bikes on a weight-purging diet. By switching from conventional dual-pivot brakes to a pair of 200SLs, road riders can knock off at least 70 grams—enough of a savings to be a performance upgrade in its own right.
Construction: The 200SL's sidepull design musters plenty of stopping power and precise control, because we've optimized all the ingredients. The brake arms start out strong as cold-forged aluminum and are CNC-machined to relieve weight without sacrificing integrity. Titanium hardware provides the other main source of gram reduction, bringing the 200SLs in at a world-beating 250 grams a pair. An oil-impregnated bronze pivot bushing links the arms and assures smooth, chatter-free braking action. Cartridge brake pads take care of business at the friction end of the line.
