Shimano 105 BR-R7170

The BR-R7170 uses a flat mount standard, which is the current industry standard for most modern road and gravel bikes. If your frame is designed for flat mount calipers, these will be compatible.

The increased clearance creates more space between the brake pads and the rotor. This significantly reduces the likelihood of rotor rub, which is that annoying metallic pinging sound often heard when cornering or climbing out of the saddle.

These calipers are designed to work specifically with Shimano's 12-speed Di2 hydraulic road levers. They are not compatible with older mechanical or non-series hydraulic levers, so check your groupset compatibility before purchasing.

Yes, Shimano's one-way bleeding system is designed to be straightforward and cleaner than traditional methods. It prevents air bubbles from being trapped in the system, though you will need a dedicated bleed kit and Shimano mineral oil to perform the service.

The BR-R7170 is compatible with L03A resin pads, which come included with the caliper. These pads feature alloy cooling fins to help dissipate heat during long descents, ensuring consistent stopping power.
