Soft gives a lighter, more progressive lever feel with more movement after the pads contact the rotor. Hard gives a firmer, more direct feel with a shorter stroke. Medium sits between the two. Both lever reach and lever pull ratio adjustment are provided. Tom Marvin / OurMedia The two-piece aluminium calipers use four 18mm pistons.
