Disc brakes optimized for road riding

• With proven hydraulic braking technology, the SHIMANO 105 calipers feature the SHIMANO Flat Mount System and its low-profile design that is ideal for road bikes. More compact and lighter than ever, the R7170 brakes offer wide pad clearance for easy wheel removal and quiet performance as well as one-way bleeding for easy, clean maintenance.

Features

• 10 % wider pad clearance decreases the chance of disc brake rotor rub

Technologies

ICE TECHNOLOGIES

• SHIMANO ICE TECHNOLOGIES components deliver more consistent braking performance by reducing heat buildup in the system. This helps prevent brake fade, which can happen when a rider applies the brakes repeatedly and strongly over a short period of time, such as when descending a long, steep hill.

ONE WAY BLEEDING

• ''ONE WAY BLEEDING'' was developed for quick and easy prevention of air in hydraulic system. We have streamlined the oil route throughout the system to prevent air bubbles from being captured in the system.
• One way oil routing plus a funnel tool with mineral oil provides an easy and clean bleeding system.
