The Shimano Dura-Ace BR-R9200 is the flagship front rim brake calliper for road cyclists who demand the highest level of braking performance and modulation. Engineered as part of the Dura-Ace R9200 groupset, it delivers an exceptional balance of rigidity, low weight, and stopping power — making it the first choice for competitive road and race cyclists.

Highlights

• SLR-EV dual symmetric pivot: Twin bearings and a roller mechanism deliver a more predictable, linear braking curve with outstanding feel and modulation.
• Lightweight magnesium shoe holders: Reduced weight at the shoe holder without sacrificing structural integrity, contributing to the calliper's class-leading weight.
• Improved tyre clearance: 51mm reach and compatibility with tyres up to 28C provides more versatility over rough surfaces without compromising performance.
• Anodised aluminium construction: High-strength, precision-machined arms deliver rigidity and long-term durability in all conditions.
• R55C4 brake shoes: Premium compound pads optimised for aluminium rims, offering consistent braking in wet and dry conditions.
• Quick-release mechanism: Enables fast wheel removal for ease of servicing and transport.

Engineering Detail

Shimano's SLR-EV (Super Light Response – Enhanced Version) system minimises flex between pivot points, ensuring that every input at the lever is transferred directly and efficiently to the braking surface. Stabilisers between axle points reduce arm gap flex, resulting in a firm, confidence-inspiring feel even during sustained hard braking on descents.
