SHIMANO BR-R317 Rear Mechanical Disc Brake Caliper
Experience consistent and reliable braking power for your road or gravel bike with the SHIMANO BR-R317 Rear Disc Brake Caliper. Engineered for cyclists who demand dependability and straightforward maintenance, this caliper brings the all-weather performance of disc brakes to a wide range of bikes. It is the ideal upgrade for enhancing your control and confidence on descents, in wet conditions, or during long-distance rides where performance cannot be compromised.
SHIMANO – Post Mount – Mechanical Disc Brake Caliper. With a low-profile design, the SHIMANO R317 mechanical disc brake is compatible with post-mount framesets. This modern mounting standard and sleek form factor ensure a clean integration with your bike´s frame, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional excellence.
The primary benefit of the BR-R317 lies in its superb modulation and stopping power, delivered through a simple and robust mechanical system. Unlike complex hydraulic systems, this mechanical disc brake is easy to install, adjust on the fly, and maintain with standard bike tools, making it a favorite for tourers, commuters, and home mechanics. Its action provides the rider with fine-tuned control over their braking force, allowing for tweezer-like precision when feathering the brakes through a corner or coming to a firm, controlled stop. The reliable single-piston design ensures consistent pad-to-rotor contact for predictable performance mile after mile.
Designed specifically for road cycling applications, its compact and lower-profile shape (compared to the previous BR-R505 model) provides increased clearance for frames and fenders, contributing to a tidier and more efficient build. This design also reduces the risk of interference, ensuring a perfect fit on a vast array of modern bicycles. For optimal performance, SHIMANO recommends pairing this caliper with the SM-RT54 160 mm rotor, creating a complete braking system that is engineered to work in perfect harmony.
