Campagnolo Chorus Skeleton Brake Calipers

Campagnolo Chorus Skeleton Brake Calipers

Campagnolo has used all of the research and extensive work with professional cyclists to develop these innovative Campagnolo Chorus Skeleton Brake Calipers.

Dual pivot brakes have seen a dramatic improvement in rim braking performance, and it is great to see them on offer here in the middle of Campagnolo's range and therefore at a more accessible price.

This pair of brake calipers feature a dual pivot action on the front and rear, unlike the differential set. This enhances the response you get when pulling your brake leavers to give you an immediate and highly effective stopping power. Having both as dual pivot keeps braking forces split equally between the front and rear.

Performance has further been improved this year by updating the brake pad compound. Not only has this reduced stopping distances in all weathers, as well as improving their life and that of the braking track.

Weight was a priority target for the engineers, leading to the skeleton geometry. This came from a basic tectonic concept with the aim of using as little material as possible to give the same performance by positioning the material at the maximum distance with regard to the neutral bending axis of the section considered. This maximises the weight-to-rigidity balance and has lead to Campagnolo not only being able to save weight but actually improving braking reliability.
