Product Information

Full details

The Shimano Dura Ace 9110 Rear Brake Calliper is designed for high-performance road cyclists seeking elite-level stopping power, aerodynamics, and precise modulation in a sleek, direct-mount package. Its SLR-EV dual symmetric pivot design offers superior rigidity and quick linear response, making it an ideal choice for race-ready bikes; however, users should note that it is strictly compatible with direct-mount framesets, limiting its use to specific modern bicycle designs.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this brake come with mounting bolts?

Yes, it is designed for direct-mount systems and includes the necessary hardware for seatstay mounting.

Can I use these with non-Dura Ace levers?

These are compatible with most Shimano road brake levers, though performance is optimized when paired with the full Dura Ace groupset.

Are these brakes suitable for carbon rims?

Yes, but you must ensure you use specific brake pads compatible with carbon braking surfaces.

Is this brake compatible with my fork?

The BR-R9110-RS is specifically for rear seatstay direct mounting; you will need the front-specific version for your fork.

How often should I service the pivots?

Generally once a season, or sooner if you frequently ride in wet or muddy conditions, to keep the bushings operating smoothly.

Troubleshooting

Brake lever feels spongy or lacks snap-back.

Check the cable tension and ensure housing ends are cut clean. Adjust the spring tension screw to increase return force.

Brake pads are rubbing against the tire.

Verify that the brake is centered using the centering screw and ensure your tire width does not exceed 28mm.

Braking power feels inconsistent.

Clean the braking surface of your rim with isopropyl alcohol to remove oil or road grime and check for uneven pad wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional braking power and modulation
  • Lightweight construction with titanium hardware
  • Aerodynamic low-profile design
  • Excellent stopping performance in wet and dry conditions
  • Compatible with modern 28C wide tires

Cons

  • Requires frames specifically designed for direct-mount brakes
  • Higher price point reflecting top-tier professional grade
  • More complex setup process than standard rim brakes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal performance, ensure that the frame's mounting bosses are clean and free of debris before installation. Use the built-in spring tension adjuster to fine-tune the return speed of the calipers. When setting up the cables, ensure there are no sharp bends that might impede movement, as this will negate the benefit of the coated bushings. Periodically check the titanium hardware for proper torque and ensure the pads are aligned precisely with the braking track of the rim. When cleaning, use a mild soapy water solution and avoid harsh degreasers that could strip the lubrication from the pivot bushings.
