Typically made of lightweight materials such as aluminium, rim brake calipers come in various designs, including single-pivot and dual-pivot mechanisms. They play a crucial role in translating the rider's braking input into effective stopping power, providing control and safety during rides. Modern rim brake calipers often feature advanced technologies for enhanced performance, such as aerodynamic shaping, quick-release mechanisms, and adjustable brake shoe positions, catering to the diverse needs of cyclists across different disciplines. While disc brakes have gained popularity, rim brake calipers remain a reliable choice for many cyclists, especially in road biking and traditional cycling setups.
