Shimano 105 BR-R7170 Rear Hydraulic Brake Caliper

The Shimano 105 BR-R7170 Rear Hydraulic Brake Caliper is designed to offer reliable, controllable, and quiet braking performance for road bikes. Thanks to proven Shimano hydraulic braking technology, the BR-R7170 caliper incorporates the Shimano Flat Mount System, featuring a low-profile design ideal for modern road bikes.

The Shimano 105 BR-R7170 brake caliper has been developed to be more compact and lighter than ever, while offering high convenience during maintenance. The wide pad clearance makes wheel removal easier and helps reduce the risk of rotor rubbing.
