Tech 4 V4 Brake

Drawing on over 25 years of expertise in designing and crafting hydraulic brake systems, the Tech 4 V4 represents a significant advancement. With entirely new internal sealing mechanisms that minimize friction, coupled with a pivot engineered on roller bearings, this iteration allows for a decreased spring rate. Consequently, riders experience a lighter lever action, minimizing fatigue and preserving our renowned feel and modulation.

Moreover, the enhanced V4 caliper integrates hybrid-style stainless steel pistons featuring a phenolic insert. This innovative design facilitates smoother movement and reduces maintenance requirements while effectively managing high temperatures without transferring heat during intense usage scenarios.

Features:

• Increased power versus Tech 3.
• Lever shape updated to provide a more ergonomic shape orientated to provide the best mechanical advantage during braking.
• Hinged clamp reducing weight and to improve ergonomics.
• Tool free bite point and reach adjustments.
• Hybrid piston design.
• Rigid CNC'd one piece caliper.
• Compatible with a wider range of current shifter options.
• Complete brake available in Black or Silver with colour accent options of; Black, silver, purple, red, blue, or orange.
• Choose either standard or braided hose (braided hose is an extra cost).
• 30% pressure increase compared with the Tech 3 brake.
• Reservoir area increased to lower overall stack height.
• Shifter integration has been improved and now offers 30° of angle adjustment as well as neater packaging and compatibility with the latest shifters. Lateral adjustment on both sides of the master.
• Cylinder is also possible to give a wide range of lever position options.
• Hybrid-style pistons that allow smoother movement and require less maintenance, and a phenolic insert to manage heat transfer during extreme use.
• The Tech 4 retains the tool-free bite point and reach adjustments from the Tech 3.
• All Tech 4 brakes are supplied with new racing compound pads. For more information on all our pad compounds see the new pad guide here.
• Max rotor thickness with V4 Caliper 3.3mm.

Please Note: The V4 caliper is not compatible with all direct mount 180mm forks due to the large piston design and variation in mount positions. We recommend running the V4 caliper with the correct mount and a 200mm rotor in this application. The V4 caliper is also not compatible with the 2021 Commencal Supreme DH frame 200mm Direct Postmount.
