TRP R970SL brake callipers

TRP R970SL callipers
Price: 
£399.99

Mmmm! And again… Mmmm! What we’ve got here, ladies and gentlemen, are the brand spanking new dual pivot offerings from TRP. They’re made from forged magnesium that’s then machined, along with titanium hardware and SwissStop Flash cartridge pads. And they hit the scales at – wait for it – 215g the pair, including fixings. For the weight-obsessed out there, that’s getting on for 80g lighter than Shimano’s top-end Dura-Ace callipers.

Road.cc verdict: 
Lightweight brakes that pack a punch – but you'll have to dig deep to pay for them
