TRP Spyke Mechanical Disc Brake Caliper

The TRP Spyke is designed specifically for long-pull levers. If you are using standard road drop-bar levers, which are typically short-pull, this caliper will not be compatible without a travel agent adapter.

Unlike single-piston mechanical calipers that push the rotor against a stationary pad, the dual-piston design moves both pads simultaneously. This ensures even pad wear, prevents rotor deformation, and provides a more consistent, balanced braking feel.

Not at all. The Spyke features integrated barrel adjusters that allow you to fine-tune pad engagement quickly without needing complex tools. It is designed to be user-friendly for home mechanics who want to avoid the bleeding process required by hydraulic systems.

The caliper includes built-in mud covers that shield the internal mechanism from trail debris and grit. While mechanical systems generally handle weather well, these covers specifically help maintain smooth operation and extend the life of your pads in adverse conditions.

Each caliper weighs 169 grams. This lightweight construction is achieved through a blend of carbon fiber and alloy materials, making it a solid choice for riders looking to shed weight without sacrificing durability.
