If you’re building a bike that needs to look as fast as it rides, the R526 provides that premium, \"pro-tour\" aesthetic and performance at a fraction of the cost of a flagship groupset brake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRefined Power.
