For some years now, disc brakes for bicycles have been introduced on the market. Equipped with discs capable of guaranteeing maximum stopping precision, they are now widely used braking systems in all cycling specialties.
How do they work? During braking, a mechanism presses the pads against the disc (integral to the wheel) thus generating a friction force directly proportional to the pressure.
In road cycling they are now considered a standard system, capable of offering better braking performance and greater possibility of dosing it, and are allowed in all official competitions.
Racing bikes with disc brakes represent the modern evolution of road cycling, guaranteeing superior braking power and reliability in all weather conditions. Thanks to the precision and modulation of disc brakes, the cyclist can tackle technical descents, challenging curves and variable terrain with complete safety and control.
