About this product
The ALTA 1080 FRONT Brake is a chrome side-pull caliper brake designed for various bicycle types. Constructed from aluminum and alloy, this front brake features a 3-finger lever design, cables, and a brake caliper. It offers a generous reach of 78-102mm and a max width of 88mm, making it compatible with City, Cruiser, Hybrid, Touring, and Vintage or Retro Road Bikes.
Our take
This ALTA 1080 front brake is a solid choice if you're looking for a reliable, single front braking unit. The chrome finish gives it a classic look that would suit many vintage or retro bikes, and the aluminum/alloy construction keeps it fairly light at 0.80lb. I particularly like the 3-finger lever design, which offers good ergonomics for comfortable braking. The wide 78-102mm reach is very adaptable, making it suitable for a broad range of bike styles, including those with fenders. Just remember this is a front-only unit, so you'll need to source a rear brake separately if a full set is desired.
