SWISSSTOP Catalyst Race CL Brake Disc
Elevate your ride to the next level with the SWISSSTOP Catalyst Race CL brake disc, the pinnacle of braking performance engineered for cyclists who demand the absolute best. Designed for the competitive edge, this disc brake rotor provides the power, control, and reliability needed to dominate in Road Cycling, excel in Gravel cycling, and conquer the trails in MTB Cycling. It’s not just a component; it’s a direct upgrade to your confidence and speed.
The Catalyst Race CL is meticulously crafted for uncompromising performance. Experience a tangible difference in acceleration and climbing thanks to its incredibly lightweight design, which is a remarkable 12% lighter than the acclaimed Catalyst Pro model. This significant reduction in rotational mass means your bike spins up faster and feels more agile, giving you a crucial advantage when every second and every gram counts. The two-piece construction is central to its superior performance, pairing a durable brake ring with a high-strength spider.
At the heart of the disc is a newly designed aluminum alloy spider. This advanced architecture provides a massive increase in lateral stiffness, ensuring the disc runs true and resists flexing under the most extreme braking forces. This translates to a consistent lever feel, zero annoying brake rub, and predictable, powerful stopping. Furthermore, the new spider design has been optimized in the wind tunnel, resulting in improved aerodynamics that help you slice through the air with less resistance, saving precious watts over the course of a long race or ride.
Every detail of the Catalyst Race CL is optimized for racing. The brake ring dimensions are perfectly matched for use with modern race pads, ensuring maximum surface contact for unparalleled stopping power and subtle modulation. This allows you to feather the brakes with precision in tight corners or stop with immediate authority when needed. As a testament to its elite-level credentials, the 140 mm and 160 mm sizes are fully UCI approved, making them legal for use in all sanctioned competitions. With the SWISSSTOP Catalyst Race CL, you can ride with the same confidence and certified technology as the pros.
