GROWTAC EQUAL Kashima Coat Mechanical Disc Brake Caliper (Flat Mount)

EQUAL — GROWTAC mechanical disc brake caliper, flat mount + full cable set for drop handlebars.

EQUAL Mechanical Disc Brake Caliper (Flat Mount) Full Set *2 units

EQUAL's mechanical disc brakes offer the peace of mind of mechanical maintenance, as well as world-class stopping power and lightness.
They are suitable for critical braking in road races and cyclocross.
They are also useful for dealing with problems during bike travel and long rides.
This is a next-generation braking system that is easy to use in a variety of situations.

What is Kashima Coat?

Kashima Coat is a high-performance surface treatment that enhances friction reduction and wear resistance by adding molybdenum disulfide, a solid lubricant, to hard anodizing.

It has high surface hardness and is scratch-resistant, so it is used for sliding parts and parts that require high durability.

In the bicycle industry, it is used in harsh environments such as MTB suspensions, where sliding and contact are constant, and is known as a highly reliable and proven treatment.

EQUAL Brakes and Kashima Coat

EQUAL brake calipers are treated with Kashima Coat on the caliper body.
The high surface hardness makes it scratch-resistant, reducing scuffs and dirt that can occur during use and maintenance, allowing the appearance to be maintained for a long time.

In addition, Kashima Coat is used for the pistons and parts around the brake pads.
The high wear resistance and lubricity suppress performance changes during long-term use and maintain a stable braking feel.
It also improves the braking feel.

Stability of Piston Movement

By adopting Kashima Coat for the piston, the wear resistance of the sliding parts is enhanced.
The high wear resistance and lubricity have made it possible to make the pistons grease-free.
This reduces the risk of grease and other oils adhering to the brake pads and brake rotors.
It suppresses performance changes during long-term use and maintains a stable braking feel.

Smooth Brake Pad Movement

The Kashima Coat applied to the entire caliper also extends to the parts that come into contact with the brake pads.
By reducing friction in the areas where the pads are pressed during braking, the movement of the pads becomes smoother.
This improves control during braking, especially for powerful braking.

Each with a Unique Appearance

Kashima Coat is not for decorative purposes, but a surface treatment that prioritizes functionality.

Each part will have variations in color.
This is also a characteristic of Kashima Coat.

No two finishes are exactly the same.
We hope you enjoy this individuality as a unique charm of Kashima Coat.
