Quick Overview

AX-Lightness Orion brake calipers are the lightest in the world.

Product Description

AX-Lightness Orion brakes are the lightest on the planet. And on top of being light, they're beautifully made, strong, stunning and lust-worthy. Like the parked Ferrari that attracts a drooling crowd of suit and tie wearing Wall Street types, AX-Lightness Orion brakes elicit a crowd of envious lycra clad, shaven legs, bike geeks. (We're proud to be a bike geeks here at Cycling Technology, and even we will be jealous if you get these brakes.)

The Orion brake calipers come in two versions -- the standard Orion, seen here, and the "Premium" (AX3000) Orion. The Premium is about 15 grams lighter. (See related products in the right column.)

AX-Lightness Orion brakes are hand made in Germany using oriented carbon laminates, and aerospace grade titanium.

AX-Lightness Orion brakes now come with Yello SwissStop pads, which are designed for carbon rims. We will gladly swap them out for SwissStop black or green pads if you're going to be using aluminum braking surface wheels.

* Weight: Calipers without pads: 99 grams. Complete set with all hardware and pad holders: 123 grams. Complete set including SwissStop yellow pads: 160 grams.
* Caliper arms: 100% carbon
* Brake pivots, front nut and cable clamp: aerospace grade titanium with rolled threads.
* Brake shoes: black anodized aluminum, spherically adjustable.14 grams per brake
* Brake rear nut: aluminum
* Brake pads: Carbon-specific SwissStop yellow
* Road use only
