    As per title, they’re very light for the money but they don’t sound as though they’re normal dual pivot road calipers?

    Anyone got any experience of them? They would be replacing some basic unbranded/Tektro style calipers.

    Both shimano and sram are now using the singlepivot + a cam style brakes on Da/red.Not as powerful as sram and a bit fiddlier to set up than shimano but they are very good for the money.

    Good, lbs set mine up and I’ve no problems with them. Light and good power.use them on my race bike for Crits and they’re more than capable for mixing it with elites and cat 1 riders.

    Got a nice red pair on my black RT57.

    Don’t believe ultimate power is up there with the best but no probs slowing me down.

    However they are cnc, red anodised and light…what is there not to like….. 😳

    Had some on my bike for a year now and they are great brakes for the money.

    Good stuff, thanks guys! Planet-X were sold out, but I found a seemingly identical version on ebay – ordered 🙂
