Technologies:

- ICE TECHNOLOGIES: Loss of overheating braking efficiency, which can occur in the brake disc and the pad when braking on long descents, for example, has a negative impact on braking performance. SHIMANO has adopted the ICE TECHNOLOGIES brake disc and the ICE TECHNOLOGIES pad to make cooling technology a reality that provides reliable performance. The coated brake disc blade, which has a 3-layer sandwich structure of stainless steel, aluminum and stainless steel, provides better radiation performance and allows 400 ° C to 300 ° C surface temperature. Likewise, a radiation fin has been adopted for the tablet. In addition, the coated brake disc blade and the radiator fin offer a long service life of the pad, less noise,

- ICE TECHNOLOGY pickups: Available in resin or metal compound, the optional radiation fin pickup with 2-layer backplate (aluminum fin with stainless steel) further improves radiation performance.

- ICE TECHNOLOGY piston to achieve optimum weight, high rigidity and heat dissipation. The oversized pistons directly transfer hydraulic power to the brake pad and the ceramic material is used to prevent heat transfer in order to obtain a stable steady braking, providing efficient lossless braking power transfer

- ONE WAY BLEEDING” has been developed for a quick and easy prevention of the presence of air in our hydraulic system. We have streamlined the route of the oil in the system to avoid air bubbles in the system. The one-way oil path, plus a funnel tool with mineral oil, provides an easy and clean purging system.
