• Easy Pad Adjustment: Tool-free pad adjustments for both pads make maintenance straightforward and quick.
• Lightweight and Compact: Made from durable materials while maintaining a lightweight profile, ensuring performance without adding unnecessary weight.
• Wide Compatibility: Compatible with most road and cyclocross setups, facilitating easy upgrades or replacements for various bike models.
• Enhanced Modulation: Provides excellent braking modulation for better control and precision during braking maneuvers.
• Cable-Operated: Uses standard road shifter and brake levers for seamless integration and ease of use.

Benefits

• Improved Braking Performance: Equal engagement of dual pistons results in smooth and consistent braking power.
• User-Friendly Design: Tool-free adjustments and easy installation make it a practical choice for both novice and experienced riders.
• Durability: Built from robust materials to endure heavy use and challenging terrains.
• Versatility: Suitable for a variety of biking disciplines including road, cyclocross, and gravel riding.

Installation and Maintenance

Installation Guide

1. Caliper Mounting:
   • Attach the TRP Spyre-R caliper to your bike’s frame or fork using the supplied mounting bolts.
   • Center the caliper over the rotor; adjust as necessary to ensure it doesn’t rub against the rotor.
2. Cable Setup:
   • Connect the brake cable to the caliper.
   • Adjust the cable tension using the barrel adjuster for responsive braking.
3. Final Calibration:
   • Ensure the rotor spins freely between the brake pads without contact.
