The hydraulic RS505 front disc brake offers outstanding braking performance in any weather. Thanks to a flat mount brake calliper, it additionally impresses with an attractive and sporty design. Fast, intuitive shifting perfectly tops off Shimanos full package.
The J-KIT is pre-filled and may be adjusted by cutting the brake calliper hose (olive and insert required & not included) perfect for frames with internal cable routing. You can connect the system without having to bleed it (at least in most cases).
