Get ahead of even the professionals with this Shimano BR-RS505 Road Flat Mount Type Hydraulic Disc Brake Caliper, Rear.

Minimalistic design does not compromise their hydraulic function with the one-way bleeding and simple tool access.

Shimano BR-RS505 Flat Mount Type Hydraulic Disc Brake Caliper, Rear

The UCI will be trialling disc brakes at some key events in 2016, but you can get ahead of the game with this Shimano BR-RS505 Road Flat Mount Type Hydraulic Disc Brake Caliper, Rear. What you get here is a road specific disc brake designed to work with the Flat mount fitment.

This mounting system has advantages for frame and caliper design. This is most noticeable at the rear where the bolts come up from the underside, rather than through the top. This is how the Flat mount is achieved allowing the caliper to sit snugly against the chainstay. Ultimately, it leaves the rear triangle in the tidy manner you would expect of a road bike. Adapters are required should you want to run anything larger than 140 mm in rotor size.

Even the brake pads have been tailored to road use with a specific composition that makes them suited to the higher temperatures from road use.

The low profile design for road use has not compromised function though, as you still get the one-way bleeding and simple tool access that were such benefits on larger models.

Shimano have pitched these BR-RS505 versions at the 105 level, so fitting well within the upper echelons of their tiers. The performance and modulation you get with their hydraulic action though is certainly befitting of a top end model.

Please note: The brake pads supplied with this caliper are not mountain bike compatible.
