The all-new
Tech 4 V4 builds on our 25+ years of experience in designing and manufacturing hydraulic braking systems. The
Tech 4 uses an all-new internal seal to reduce friction, and the pivot rotates on roller bearings, reducing spring rate. The lower spring rate in turn gives a lighter lever action, reducing rider fatigue and retaining our legendary feel and modulation. The updated
V4 caliper uses hybrid-style stainless steel pistons with a phenolic insert allowing smoother movement and less maintenance, while being able to handle high temperatures without heat transfer during extreme use.
Key features
- More power than Tech 3
- Lever shape updated to provide a more ergonomic shape oriented to provide the best mechanical advantage when braking.
- Articulated clamp reduces weight and ergonomics
- Improved shifter integration for greater adjustability
- Tool-free bite point and reach adjustments
- Hybrid piston design
- Rigid one-piece CNC caliper
- Compatible with a wider range of current shifter options
- Full brake available in black or silver with color accent options; Black, silver, purple, red, blue or orange.
- Choose standard or braided sheath (braided sheath is an additional cost)
Technical specifications
- 30% pressure increase over Tech 3 brake
- Articulated clamp design to reduce weight and increased reservoir area to reduce overall stack height.
- Shift lever integration has been improved and now offers 30° angle adjustment as well as more careful packaging and compatibility with the latest shift levers. Lateral adjustment on both sides of the master cylinder is also possible to offer a wide range of lever position options.
- Hybrid-style pistons for smoother movement and lower maintenance, and a phenolic insert to manage heat transfer during extreme use.
- The Tech 4 retains the tool-free bite point and reach settings of the Tech 3
- All Tech 4 brakes are supplied with new pads.
