Velo Orange Grand Cru Brake Calipers

These calipers offer a reach of 47-57mm, which is essential if you are converting an older road frame or building a bike that requires extra clearance for larger tires or fenders. Standard road brakes typically max out at 49mm, so these provide the necessary distance to reach the rim on frames designed for mid-reach setups.

Yes, these are designed for short-pull brake levers, which covers almost all standard road bike levers, including integrated shifter/brake combos from Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo.

The calipers are compatible with standard Shimano-type replacement pads. This makes it easy to source replacements or upgrade to your preferred compound without needing proprietary parts.

No extra shopping is required. The calipers include the necessary mounting hardware specifically designed to work with carbon forks, ensuring a secure and safe installation.

The dual-pivot design provides significantly more leverage and stopping power than older single-pivot calipers. It centers the braking force more effectively, resulting in a firmer, more consistent feel at the lever.
