PRECISION ENGINEERING
Ground Breaking
Genius engineering, cutting edge manufacturing, beautiful design and unbeatable performance combine to stunning effect in the .1R’s hydraulic disc brakes.
The .1R’s brakes display an abundance of innovative thinking and world firsts. The calipers have been designed exclusively for the bicycle and are made to the exacting tolerances of a Swiss watch. This allows them to form an integral part of the frame and fork, completely concealing the hydraulic cables and bolts. Four pistons provide unrivalled modulation for confidence-inspiring stopping power.
The pistons are made from titanium, then nitride coated to minimise friction and resist wear.
Each caliper is precision machined from a single block of high-strength aluminium. A spark erosion process then completes microscopic details that cannot be achieved by CNC machining.
The brakes have been mercilessly tested on a rig designed by Formula One engineers to ensure they perform flawlessly.
The tiny piston caps and 160mm rotor, complete with titanium centre and stainless steel braking surface, are inspired by the honeycomb design of the Aston Martin Valkyrie’s wheels.
Both the rotor and caliper are finished in an advanced, heat-resistant ceramic coating in a choice of colours.
“The design process, machining tolerances, and materials used are light years ahead of standard disc brakes, and are closer in DNA to processes deployed in Formula One.”
