What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I like the SPYRE because it feels more like a hydraulic brake than most mechanical options. Both pistons move evenly, so setup is straightforward and braking stays consistent. It’s a great choice for gravel or road builds where simplicity and reliability matter." We turn to the SPYRE Flat Mount Mechanical Brake when we want dependable braking without the complexity of hydraulics. Designed by TRP, this brake delivers confident control in wet roads, gritty gravel, and muddy conditions where consistent stopping power matters most. The dual-piston design pushes both pads evenly into the rotor, reducing flex and improving modulation compared to single-sided mechanical brakes. Inside, ramped ball bearings smooth out pad engagement, creating predictable braking feel whether we’re feathering speed into a corner or scrubbing speed on a long descent. Simple, durable, and easy to maintain, the SPYRE is a trusted option for riders who value performance and serviceability.
