After 3 hours of climbing you did it, finally – you reached the top of the mountain and now you’re looking forward to the descent. High speed, tight corners, adrenalin! But…. slowly but surely the grin on your face is fading away. Bad breaking performance, no pressure point, your hands hurt – fading! Almost every biker has already made this kind of experience. It can definitely turn your good mood into a bad one, but most of all, it can turn out to be seriously dangerous as well.

170 grams for a complete set of brakes including pads? That’s over 140 grams less than a set of Shimano Dura-Ace brakes, and leads to the question, if ZeroGravity’s Ti brakes offer enough power to stop your bike in every situation. A test over 18 months should shed some light on it!

After a short preview of the M5 brakes some weeks ago, we can now present you the final test report.
Let’s take a closer look at the construction of the brake. All the aluminium parts are CNC-machined and black anodized. The brake-shoes – they have to be purchased individually by the way – are Shimano compatible. Consequently, besides the Corima cork-pads provided by M5, you can use the “Flash” brake-pads made by SwissStop, which we will also review. The installation is quite easy.
