Tektro R313 Dual Pivot (Road Caliper)

Reliable Control. Classic Style.

The Tektro R313 is a dual-pivot caliper designed for maximum mechanical advantage. By utilizing two pivot points, it provides more leverage and a more symmetrical squeeze on the rim than traditional single-pivot designs. This results in a firm lever feel and predictable modulation, giving you the confidence to brake later and deeper into corners. Finished in a durable high-polish or stealth black, it adds a touch of class to any frameset.

Why the R313 is a Performance Staple:

• Dual-Pivot Design: Offers significantly more stopping power and smoother operation than single-pivot alternatives. It ensures both pads strike the rim simultaneously for balanced wear and consistent feel.

• Forged Aluminum Arms: Lightweight yet incredibly stiff. The forged construction minimizes flex under hard braking, ensuring that every bit of cable pull is translated into stopping force at the rim.

• Modern Tire Clearance: Designed with a 39mm–51mm reach, the R313 is optimized for modern road setups, offering enough "arch" to comfortably clear 25mm and many 28mm tires.

• Quick-Release Lever: Features an integrated cam-style quick-release. This allows you to open the caliper instantly for fast wheel changes or to clear wider tires without having to deflate them.

• Adjustable Spring Tension: Fine-tune the "return" feel of your brake levers to match your preference, ensuring a snappy, responsive cockpit.

• P453 High-Angle Adjustable Pads: Comes stock with high-quality pads that allow for angle adjustment, ensuring perfectly flat contact with the rim surface to eliminate brake "shudder" and squeal.

The Alegro Perspective: It’s incredibly easy to centre, holds its adjustment for thousands of kilometers, and looks much more expensive than it actually is. If you're building up a "forever" steel frame or just refreshing an old favorite, these calipers offer the best performance-to-dollar ratio in the rim-brake world. They are proof that you don't need to go carbon to get professional-grade stopping power.
