TRP HY/RD Hydraulic Disc Brakes
Engineered for seamless upgrades & precision control
Ideal for road cyclists seeking hydraulic performance without replacing existing mechanical levers, the HY/RD combines compact design with adaptive braking technology. Its integrated hydraulic master cylinder eliminates external reservoirs, delivering consistent stopping power across wet pavements or steep gravel descents.
Key Advantages
✓ Universal Compatibility – Works with mechanical levers ( Shimano/SRAM/ Campagnolo) via included short-pull adapters
✓ Self-Calibrating System – Automatically compensates for pad wear over 500+ km rides
✓ Dual-Rotor Support – Safe operation on both resin-coated (160mm) and standard steel rotors
✓ Temperature-Resistant Pads – Semi-metallic compound maintains bite during 40°C+ descents
