🔧 Why This Brake Set Is So Good
Part of the legendary Shimano 105 9-speed groupset, the BR-6500 dual-pivot calipers deliver smooth modulation, excellent stopping power, and long-term durability. Featuring a sleek forged alloy design and robust spring tension, these rim brakes are ideal for both vintage builds and reliable mid-range road bikes. Their compatibility with modern Shimano STI levers and wide tire clearance make them an especially versatile upgrade or replacement.
