The Avid BB7 Road SL 2017 is a high-performance mechanical disc brake caliper designed specifically for road bikes using drop-bar brake levers. Renowned for its powerful and consistent braking, the BB7 Road SL combines the reliability of a cable-actuated system with the modulation and control riders expect from quality disc brakes. Its dual pad adjustment allows you to fine-tune both inboard and outboard pads independently, helping you achieve perfect rotor alignment and minimize brake rub, even as pads wear over time.
Built with lightweight materials and a sleek finish, the BB7 Road SL is a popular upgrade for riders seeking improved stopping power in all weather conditions without switching to a full hydraulic system. It works with standard road brake levers and is compatible with common rotor sizes, making it a versatile choice for road, cyclocross, and gravel-style setups that use road pull. Easy setup and straightforward cable routing make maintenance simple, while widely available replacement pads ensure long-term serviceability. Whether you are commuting, training, or racing, this caliper delivers confident braking and dependable performance on every ride.
