TRP HY/RD disc brake calipers bring the stopping power and added control of a hydraulic disc brake system, without the added expense of replacing your dual control shifter/brake levers.
TRP HY/RD brakes are designed to be used with and are compatible with all short pull brake levers.
HY/RD brakes will not work with long pull mountain style levers.
The advantages of a hydraulic system over a traditional mechanical disc brake are the fact that they "pinch" the rotor from both brake pads vs "pushing" the outboard pads into the inboard pads, hydraulic brakes are also self-adjusting to make up for pad wear.
The included disc brake pads with the
TRP HY/RD are made from a resin compound with metal fibers and are compatible will all rotors, including rotors that are labeled as resin pad only.
Flat Mount versions of the
TRP HY/RD disc brake calipers are designed to work with
flat mount frames and forks only. Flat Mount calipers
will not work with Post Mount or IS frames and forks.
To make installation and servicing your TRP HY/RD disc brakes easier, TRP has produced a series of video available

TRP HY/RD disc brakes bring powerful and reliable stopping power of a hydraulic disc brake to road drivetrains with the need to buy new costly shifters.
