TRP Hylex - HD-C8110 - Black

The Hylex HD-C8110 is primarily designed for single-speed setups. While it can be used on the front or rear of a geared bike as a standalone brake, it does not integrate with traditional shifters for gear changes. It is intended to be paired with specific TRP electronic shifters for a complete system.

The TRP Hylex HD-C8110 uses mineral oil. It is crucial to use only compatible mineral oil for bleeding to avoid damaging the system's seals.

The combined weight for the lever, caliper, and hose is approximately 429 grams.

The product description does not specify if a rotor is included. Rotors are typically sold separately and must be 1.8mm thick for compatibility.

The Hylex HD-C8110 features reach adjust. Typically, this is done via a small screw or dial on the lever body, allowing you to move the lever blade closer to or farther from the handlebar.

The EZ Plug system is TRP's design for simplifying the connection and disconnection of brake hoses, making installation and maintenance more straightforward.

While they offer hydraulic braking, the Hylex HD-C8110 is specifically designed with a slim hood and flat mount caliper optimized for road, gravel, and cyclocross drop-bar setups. They are not intended for mountain bike use with flat bars.

The brake system likely needs bleeding. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for bleeding the Hylex hydraulic system with fresh, compatible mineral oil.

Check for any obstructions or binding in the lever mechanism or cable routing. Ensure the reach adjust screw is not set too far in.

Ensure the rotor is clean and free from contaminants. Check brake pad alignment and bedding-in procedure. Inspect rotor for damage or warping.

Verify fluid level in the system. Check for leaks at hose connections or caliper seals. Ensure the brake pads are properly positioned and making contact with the rotor.
