SAMPSON SPORTS BRAKES

Smooth, light, and very predictable. When it comes braking, like most things in cycling, it takes a balance of attributes to be the best. That is why the new Sampson Stratics and Showtime brake sets give you more features than the others! All the brakes feature to level finish and details. The brakes both are great modulating, with the mechanical advantage of dual-pivot calipers if you need to stop in a hurry! Though we use full steel bolts and posts for exceptional strength, the Stratics is one of the lightest brakes made, while the Showtime is still in the weight class of many brands top level products! Both on the road, and on the scale the Sampson brakes are setting new standards of performance!
