About this product
The ALTA 1080 front alloy bicycle brake is a black side-pull caliper, lever, and cable set. It features a long reach of 78-102mm and a max width of 88mm, making it suitable for city, cruiser, hybrid, touring, and vintage/retro road bikes. Manufactured in Taiwan, this aluminum and alloy brake system is designed for a front-specific installation, offering a 3-finger lever design for comfortable operation.
Our take
This ALTA 1080 front brake offers a complete solution with a caliper, lever, and cables included, which is convenient. The long reach of 78-102mm is a key feature, making it suitable for older bikes or those with specific frame/fork and wheel clearance needs, like vintage road bikes or cruisers. The aluminum and alloy construction is durable enough for its intended use, and the 3-finger lever design should provide comfortable control. Just remember this is only for the front wheel, so you'd need a separate rear brake.
