Features

PVD Hardened Surface

Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) coating adds a hardened outer layer that resists scratching and surface wear.

Unlike conventional electroplating, PVD bonds at a molecular level. The finish won't flake, peel, or degrade in contact with brake fluid over time.

Hot Forged Construction

The piston is hot-stamp forged rather than machined from bar stock.

Forging aligns the grain structure of the titanium, producing a stronger and more fatigue-resistant component, better suited to the repeated hydraulic pressure cycles of a brake piston than a machined equivalent.

~40% Lighter Than Stock

Titanium is significantly lighter than steel for the same strength.

Corrosion Resistant - Brake Fluid, Sweat & Rain

Titanium is highly resistant to corrosion from mineral oil, salt, and sweat — all of which the piston is exposed to in normal MTB/Road use.

The PVD finish adds a further protective layer over the base titanium, keeping the piston functioning like new over the life of the brake.

Polished Mirror Finish

Precision polished to a mirror finish.

Installation

Installation involves opening the brake hydraulic system. If you are unfamiliar with hydraulic brake servicing, please seek assistance from a local bike shop.

Incorrect installation may affect brake performance and safety.
