About this product
The RACEWORK RK-R8000 is a dual pivot aluminum side-pull caliper brake designed for road bikes. Manufactured in China, this brake features a 55mm brake pad length for effective stopping. It's offered as a single caliper, compatible for both front and rear positions, though the listing specifies "Front OR Rear". Its aluminum construction ensures a durable yet lightweight component for road cycling applications.
Our take
This RACEWORK RK-R8000 caliper is a basic, functional aluminum side-pull brake for road bikes. The dual pivot design should offer better leverage compared to single pivot brakes, which is a nice touch for a budget option. The 55mm pad length is standard and provides adequate contact. Priced at just $9.99, it's an incredibly affordable choice for a single brake. You'll need to purchase two if you want a front and rear setup, and factor in that it's made in China. It's a no-frills component but gets the job done for the price.
