HYDRO MECHANICAL BRAKES
TRP HY/RD disc brakes.
Cable-operated hydraulic pistons, ensuring reliability and efficiency
160mm disc at the front and rear
Anti-compression Jagwire housing to ensure braking precision and efficiency

BEDDING IN BRAKES
You will need to bed these brakes in. Simply brake gradually 20 times at a low speed (20 km/h), then repeat at 30 km/h. Make sure to bed in both brakes.
This creates better grip between the pad and disc.

TESTS AND WARRANTY
Agree by
When it came to testing this new RC520 bike, we certainly didn't hold back. In the lab, the bike passed all of the tests for the most demanding standards, as well as additional tests that helped guide our design choices (geometry, fork rigidity, etc.). But that wasn't all. We also put it through its paces on the road. We tackled some legendary routes (Paris-Roubaix, Tour des Flandres, the Ardéchoise, etc.) as well as our lunchtime rides and even gravel rides and long-distance rides with panniers
Parts guarantee
Lifetime warranty on the frame, handlebar and stem. 5-year warranty on the fork.
