The Avid BB7 MTB S 2017 is a legendary mechanical disc brake caliper designed specifically for mountain biking, combining powerful braking performance with simple, cable-actuated reliability. Known for its consistent stopping power in a wide range of conditions, the BB7 is a favorite among riders who want disc brake performance without the complexity of a full hydraulic system. Its mechanical design makes it easy to set up with standard brake levers and straightforward to maintain, even for home mechanics, while still delivering strong, predictable braking on steep descents and technical trails.
This caliper features independently adjustable inboard and outboard brake pads, allowing you to fine-tune pad position and feel without tools on many setups. This makes it easy to eliminate rotor rub and dial in the perfect lever travel. The BB7 MTB S is compatible with standard disc brake rotors and mounts on most mountain bike frames and forks that accept disc brakes. Durable construction and proven Avid engineering mean it can handle mud, dust, and rough riding, making it a solid upgrade or replacement choice for trail, XC, and all-mountain bikes.
