Shimano Grx BR-RX820 Front Disc Brake

Key Features

• Hydraulic Disc Brake System
  The BR-RX820 utilizes hydraulic brake technology, which provides smooth and powerful braking with less effort compared to mechanical disc brakes. Hydraulic brakes are known for their efficiency, consistent performance, and lower maintenance needs, making them ideal for gravel bikes and mixed-terrain riding.

• Superior Braking Power
  Designed to provide exceptional stopping power, the GRX BR-RX820 excels in gravel and off-road conditions. Whether riding through wet, muddy paths, or steep descents, the brake delivers reliable stopping force, ensuring your safety and control on varied surfaces.

• Optimized for Gravel and Adventure Riding
  The BR-RX820 is tailored to meet the needs of gravel cyclists, with a focus on modulation and control. This brake allows you to adjust braking force progressively, offering smooth, controlled stops without the harsh, on/off feel found in lower-end systems. It’s perfect for navigating loose gravel, dirt roads, and uneven surfaces.

• Larger Rotor Compatibility
  This front brake is compatible with 160mm, 140mm, and 180mm rotors, giving riders flexibility to choose the right rotor size based on their riding style and terrain. Larger rotors (such as 180mm) are often used for riders who need more braking power on steep descents or carrying extra weight, while smaller rotors (140mm) can offer better efficiency and weight savings for less demanding rides.

• Improved Modulation and Heat Dissipation
  With Ice-Tech technology, the BR-RX820 features advanced heat management, which helps prevent brake fade during prolonged use. This is particularly important for riders who encounter steep descents or long stretches of braking on gravel and rough terrain. The heat-dissipating features ensure the brake remains efficient and reliable, no matter the conditions.

• Ergonomic Lever Design
  Shimano’s GRX series levers are ergonomically designed for comfort during long rides. The levers provide a solid feel, allowing for precise brake engagement and reducing hand fatigue over extended periods of use. They are also designed to integrate seamlessly with Shimano’s GRX shifters for smooth, coordinated shifting and braking.

• Durability and Easy Maintenance
  The hydraulic caliper is engineered for durability in challenging conditions, with minimal maintenance required. Shimano's One-Way hydraulic design makes it easier to adjust brake pads, improving reliability and reducing upkeep. This is ideal for gravel riders and adventurers who rely on their gear to perform across tough and remote terrain.
