The Shimano Dura-Ace BR-7900 brake caliper set is designed for road bikes, consisting of front and rear rim brakes made from forged aluminum. This dual-pivot brake caliper set offers a Super SLR design with an enhanced arch proportion and thrust bearing for faster, more linear braking response. It supports a reach of 49mm, accommodating typical road bike rim profiles and is compatible with Shimano STI levers that are Super SLR enabled. The original brake pads (R55C3 cartridge type) provided around 20% improved stopping power in dry conditions and doubled braking performance in wet conditions compared to previous models. The grey/silver color and forged aluminum construction provide durability while keeping weight relatively low at around 287 grams for the pair.

Ideal for riders seeking reliable rim brakes with precise modulation and compatibility with Shimano Dura-Ace and other Super SLR enabled brake levers, the BR-7900 is well-suited for high-quality road cycling setups. Its linear response and easier cable routing make it practical for racing or training environments, with a balance of performance and maintenance-friendly features.
