GROWTAC EQUAL (Full Set / Kashima Coat Specification) | Special Specification Expanding the Possibilities of Mechanical Disc Brakes

The lightest class in the world with high braking power. Kashima coat specification pursuing the ideal of mechanical disc brakes.

The GROWTAC EQUAL disc brake caliper was developed to overturn the common perception that "mechanical disc brakes are inferior to hydraulic brakes."

In addition to a high-precision caliper design machined from extra super duralumin, the entire system, including cables, outer casing, and brake pads, has been optimized. It achieves a high level of lightness, braking power, and control, demonstrating excellent performance in a wide range of situations such as road bikes, cyclocross, and gravel roads.

This model is a special specification with Kashima coating applied to the caliper body and sliding parts. Its high wear resistance and lubricity reduce sliding friction, maintaining a stable braking feel for a long period. Its functional beauty, prioritizing performance, and the unique appearance that differs for each piece are also attractive.

Features

The reason EQUAL is supported is not just its pure braking power.

Its major appeal lies in achieving braking power and operational feel comparable to hydraulic disc brakes, while retaining the ease of maintenance and troubleshooting characteristic of mechanical systems.

In particular, the Kashima coat specification offers extremely smooth initial movement when the brake lever is squeezed, and the feel changes very little even after long-term use. We confidently recommend this brake system not only to those who prioritize bike travel and self-maintenance, but also to riders who demand high braking power for races and gravel rides.
