Description:
Introduced during Shimano's groundbreaking 9-speed era in the late 1990s, the BR-5500 calipers brought elite-level stopping mechanics to the highly dependable 105 group. Built around Shimano's Super SLR (Shimano Linear Response) dual-pivot technology, these cold-forged calipers drastically reduce pivot friction while multiplying lever force, resulting in immense stopping power and feather-light modulation. Equipped with adjustable spring tension and recessed mounting, they are a structurally superior, high-performance upgrade for any neo-retro steel road build.
