Chinese brand Star Union has introduced its new premium brake line-up, under the name Suhr. The new Suhr R740 brakes are made from CNC-machined 7075-T6 aluminium alloy and feature cooling fins built into the 4-piston caliper. The brand says the brakes, which were on show at Eurobike, are purpose-built for downhill and enduro bikes, with the caliper featuring 16mm pistons. Tool-free adjustment for reach is used on the lever, but there isn't any contact adjust as on other high-end brakes. The calipers feature a refined finish with cooling fins on the main body. Nick Clark / Our Media This isn't something ubiquitous on top-spec mountain bike brakes, with Trickstuff's 1,300 Maxima brakes only featuring reach adjustment. Suhr says the brakes weigh 299.3g for the front with a 1,000mm hose, and 318.5g for the rear with a 1,800mm hose. An aluminium lever blade is used. Nick Clark / Our Media Mineral oil is used in the system and stainless steel-backed carbon ceramic pads are employed in the caliper. An anodised finish features on the lever and caliper, with black, silver and purple available. The brakes are priced at $450, which seems competitive with other premium stoppers.
