Youre looking at what is perhaps the most powerful hydraulic disc brake on the market, the Grimeca System 17. The standout feature of the System 17 is its six-piston calipers, and combined with a high-volume fluid reservoir, braided, stainless steel lines to maintain consistent fluid pressure and 203-mm rotors, the System 17 should provide massive stopping power.

The System 17s are ideal for heavy-duty applications like downhill, freeride or tandems. If you are a cross-country racer, you likely wont need this much braking power unless youre towing a BOB trailer full of bowling balls as part of your training regimen. Grimeca also makes lighter, more affordable four-piston hydraulic disc brakes, but for the most potent brake available, the System 17 is it.Jim Fitzgerald
