Lewis SLR: The Ultimate Lightweight Road Caliper
The Lewis SLR is the lightest flat-mount road caliper Lewis has ever produced, designed specifically for hill climbers and performance-obsessed roadies. Precision CNC-machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and fully equipped with Titanium pistons and hardware, the SLR weighs just 68.5g (caliper body). That is less than half the weight of many stock calipers.
But the SLR isn't just a "weight weenie" showpiece; it is a serious performance upgrade. It utilizes Dual 21mm Titanium Pistons (significantly larger than standard 19mm road pistons) to deliver stronger, more consistent braking power. Additionally, Lewis has engineered a generous 0.3mm pad clearance per side, solving the common headache of rotor rub and "zinging" sounds often found on aero road bikes.
Why Upgrade to the Lewis SLR?
-
Featherweight Construction: At 68.5g, this caliper allows you to shave significant rotating and static weight from your bike without sacrificing safety.
-
Titanium Pistons (Heat Management): The large 21mm pistons are made from Titanium. Titanium is a poor conductor of heat, which acts as a thermal firewall, preventing brake heat from boiling your fluid on long alpine descents.
-
Universal Compatibility (Choose Your Fluid): Unlike stock calipers, the SLR is available in two seal versions. You can choose the Mineral Oil version (for Shimano/Campagnolo levers) or the DOT 5.1 version (for SRAM levers). *Select your version carefully!
- Rub-Free Performance: The patented lever-return spring and piston design ensure the pads retract fully, giving you silent running and easier wheel changes.
