The TRP Hylex HD-C8110 hydraulic disc brake is designed for single-speed drop bar cyclists seeking a refined and ergonomic braking experience. Its key benefit lies in its powerful and consistent hydraulic stopping power combined with a sleek, modern hood design. A potential caveat for some users might be its specific compatibility with certain shifter systems if used in a mixed setup.

The Hylex HD-C8110 uses a flat mount caliper design.
Yes, it can be paired with TRP HyWire Pinion and TRP Vistar Classified electronic shifter/brake levers for a mixed system, or used as a standalone brake.
The brake is intended for use with 1.8mm thick rotors.
Refer to the official TRP service manual for detailed instructions on performing a hydraulic brake bleed, as it requires specific tools and fluid.
The combined weight of the lever, caliper, and hose is approximately 429 grams.
While it offers hydraulic power, it is primarily designed for drop bar bikes, particularly single-speed applications like gravel or cyclocross, and may not offer the extreme power needed for all mountain biking scenarios.
The brake system may need bleeding. Refer to the TRP service manual or consult a professional mechanic.
Ensure the rotor is clean and free of contaminants. Check pad wear and replace if necessary. Verify correct brake line routing and check for any kinks.
Inspect brake pads for contamination or wear. Ensure the rotor is straight and free from damage. Check that the caliper is properly aligned with the rotor.
Check for obstructions around the lever mechanism. Ensure the brake cable (if used in conjunction with electronic shifters) is not binding.
Setup: The Hylex HD-C8110 features an EZ Plug system for simplified hose connection. Ensure the brake line is routed cleanly and securely. For optimal performance, pair with TRP-approved 1.8mm rotors. Installation typically involves mounting the flat mount caliper to the frame and connecting the hydraulic line to the lever.
Compatibility: This brake is designed for flat mount frames. It can be used as a standalone front or rear brake, or paired with TRP HyWire Pinion or TRP Vistar Classified electronic shifters. Ensure your frame has the correct flat mount provisions.
Care: Regular cleaning of the caliper and rotor with isopropyl alcohol will maintain optimal braking. Periodically check brake fluid levels and perform a hydraulic bleed if lever feel becomes spongy or inconsistent. Keep the lever blades and hood clean with a damp cloth.
