GROWTAC EQUAL [Full Front & Rear Set] | Next-Generation Mechanical Disc Brakes with Hydraulic-Level Braking Power
End the "compromise because it's mechanical." Japanese-made disc brakes that combine lightness, braking power, and adjustability at a high level.
Many people may have the impression that mechanical disc brakes are "light but don't work well" or "can't beat hydraulic." The GROWTAC EQUAL is a braking system that is seriously overturning that conventional wisdom.
The caliper weighs approximately 136g, making it one of the lightest in the world. Yet, with its unique vertical cam structure and dedicated cable design, it achieves high braking power comparable to hydraulic brakes and a light lever pull.
Furthermore, it features the world's first system that allows for fine adjustment of the braking feel. A major appeal is the ability to set up the touch to your liking,に合わせて, depending on your body weight and riding style.
While retaining the "ease of mechanical brakes" for maintenance during bike travel or touring, these Japanese-made brakes offer a level of perfection that allows them to compete effectively in road races and hill climbs.

Honestly, "mechanical brakes that are this light and work this well" are quite shocking.
The lever pull is light, yet the braking power is impressively high. And since you can even adjust the feeling, it's really interesting how you can fine-tune the brake touch to your liking.
Also, the ease of dealing with troubles during bike travel or touring is a major advantage unique to mechanical brakes. I highly recommend them to anyone who is uneasy about hydraulic maintenance.
They're also an excellent match for hill climbs and lightweight custom builds, and I think they're a brake that you should experience at least once as "the pinnacle of mechanical disc brakes."
💬 STAFF REVIEW
With its vertical cam structure and dedicated cable, it offers light pull and excellent control. The stopping power and durability of the Vesrah pads are also reassuring.
Honestly, the lighter handling compared to hydraulic brakes is a huge personal appeal. There's a wide range of colors, and the new clear purple is so appealing it makes you want to buy it on impulse. For gearheads, it's packed with the fun of wanting to get your hands on it – this is a brake that'll make you say, "Wow!"
