Shimano BR-R2000 Claris Rear Caliper Brake — Precision Control for Everyday Road Cyclists

Precision, reliability, and elegant engineering—these are the hallmarks of Shimano's Claris series, and the BR-R2000 rear caliper brake is no exception. Designed for road cyclists who seek dependable performance without complexity, this dual-pivot brake caliper brings responsive modulation and consistent power to entry-level and mid-range bikes alike.

Built for the modern rider, the BR-R2000 uses a dual-pivot mechanism to amplify braking efficiency while enhancing stability during deceleration. The result is a crisp, controlled feel at the lever with minimal flex or lag—exactly what you want whether you're descending a twisty road or threading traffic on your daily commute.

The caliper features a 12.8mm pivot bolt and 10.5mm sunken mounting nut, ensuring seamless integration with contemporary road bike frames. It's engineered for precise alignment and firm mounting, minimizing unwanted movement and maximizing braking consistency. The forged aluminum construction balances strength and weight, ensuring long-term durability without compromising ride dynamics.

Included are Shimano R50T5 brake shoes, optimized for alloy rims and formulated to deliver confident, quiet stopping across a variety of weather conditions. These pads bite with assurance but wear gently, and when the time comes, they're easy to swap thanks to Shimano’s cartridge-style design.

A built-in quick-release mechanism allows for tool-free wheel removal—an essential for roadside repairs or transportation. Subtle refinements like the finely machined cable anchor bolt and easy-to-adjust barrel tensioner round out a system that feels more premium than its price tag might suggest.

Whether you’re training, commuting, or touring, the Shimano BR-R2000 Claris Rear Caliper Brake is a testament to functional design—delivering all the braking precision you need, with none of the fuss.
