Compared with traditional split-body calipers, the monoblock construction uses fewer body bolts, allowing the caliper to be made lighter, smaller, and stronger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt only approximately 63g per caliper, excluding brake pads and fittings, the R2 is a strong upgrade choice for lightweight road bikes, climbing builds, premium gravel bikes, and custom performance builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOne-piece Monoblock CNC Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R2 caliper is CNC-machined from a single piece of 7075-T6 aluminum. This monoblock design creates a stronger and more rigid caliper body compared with conventional two-piece calipers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy reducing the number of body bolts and connection points, Lewis is able to remove more unnecessary material from the caliper body while maintaining excellent structural strength. The result is a lighter, more compact, and cleaner-looking brake caliper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStronger Caliper Body with Fewer Bolts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA traditional split caliper relies on multiple bolts to hold the two caliper halves together. The R2’s one-piece body reduces the need for extra fastening hardware, helping to save weight and improve overall stiffness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis also gives the caliper a more premium CNC-machined appearance, making it a suitable choice for high-end custom road and gravel builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReinforced Brake Pad Retaining Pin Area\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R2 features a reinforced brake pad retaining pin interface to improve durability around the pad retention area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn some ultra-light calipers, the brake pad retaining pin can experience additional stress when the brake lever is held while the bike is pushed backward. Over time, this reverse loading can increase the risk of damage around the retaining pin area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLewis has strengthened this section of the R2 caliper to better support the brake pad retaining pin and reduce the risk of pin-related failure under reverse braking loads, workshop handling, and demanding riding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2 × 21mm Titanium Pistons\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R2 is equipped with two large 21mm titanium pistons for strong and consistent braking performance. The larger piston diameter helps deliver reliable braking force, while the titanium piston material helps reduce weight and improve the overall premium specification of the caliper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e7075-T6 Aluminum Body\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe caliper body is machined from high-strength 7075-T6 aluminum, a material commonly used in high-performance cycling components where strength, stiffness, and weight reduction are important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDOT 5.1 and Mineral Oil Versions Available\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lewis R2 is available in both DOT 5.1 and mineral oil versions, making it compatible with different hydraulic brake systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease select the correct version based on your existing brake lever and hydraulic system.
