Damn Straight

When you find lines where others lose their nerve, the Direttissima will tempt you to take them even more. The brake lets you feel how to handle it at all times so as not to lose control. Thanks to the ratio of braking force and system stiffness with minimal friction in the lever mechanism, it achieves instinctive braking precision. The brake lever drives a 9mm pump piston that directs the oil to the four 14/17mm stainless steel caliper pistons with a progressive toggle joint linkage, meaning the further you pull the brake lever, the greater the increase in force you exert. This nifty little trick allows you to cleverly increase braking power without feeling like you're arm-wrestling with the handlebars.

Direct Bite Point

The brake lever lets you immediately feel when the pads are catching the discs, thanks to the extremely pressure-resistant Kevlar hoses, and milled 7075 aluminum brake pump, lever, and caliper the system stiffness is increased, generating a conspicuously direct bite point. The polymer pump piston minimizes friction, the stainless steel caliper pistons return evenly and keep your pressure point consistent. Paired with ball bearing brake levers, you get the precision to tackle even the gnarliest, most demanding direct lines.

Precision and Consistency

A brake caliper with high stiffness enables a more direct and precise transmission of braking force, resulting in a clear and firm bite point. The short piston rollback establish the consistency of the bite point, while tight manufacturing tolerances ensure that the pistons return evenly. This prevents the brake from being pumped up in quick braking succession and the free travel remains unchanged.
