This may have been asked before,
Apologies if it has.
Can anyone advise me on replacement superior front brake caliper that is a bolt on replacement for this bike ?
Cheers

The front brakes are pretty good, can lock the wheel if you arent careful.
My I ask why you want to replace the callipers??
-
When I got the bike the calipers were seized on.
I can repair them at a price and was just wondering if there is an alternative.
No disrespect to the current calipers however sliders are a bit old tech these days and if there is a viable upgrade I would rather spend the money on that.

Just because it's new doesn't mean it's better.
For interest sake; what is the new tech?
