BR-R353

Brand: Shimano

Compact V-brake caliper that Shimano offers for flat-bar road bikes. The 90 mm arch and curved arms clear the tyre while keeping the brake visually small. Shimano lists it as compatible with V-brake levers and flat-bar brake levers, so it uses the long-pull ratio rather than the short-pull road one. The painted aluminium arms take S70T cartridge shoes, with M70T4 available as an option.
