About this product
The Sunlite Alloy Cantilever Brake is a lightweight braking solution for mountain, hybrid, and cyclocross bikes.

It's designed as a cantilever brake type, suitable for various compatible bike types including road and touring bikes. This part offers a simple, effective braking mechanism.
Our take
For riders seeking a straightforward and lightweight braking system, the Sunlite Alloy Cantilever Brake is a solid contender. Weighing just 185g, its aluminum construction helps keep bike weight down, which is a definite plus for cyclocross or mountain applications. Cantilever brakes are known for their simplicity and ease of maintenance, making this a practical choice for those who prefer a classic brake type over more complex systems. While effective, cantilever brakes generally offer less stopping power than modern disc brakes, a tradeoff worth considering for very aggressive riding or steep descents. However, for hybrid or touring bikes, this is a perfectly capable option.
