• Further improvements have been made by the Japanese component makers. Pad clearance has been increase by 10%, which will reduce the noise that can occur with disc brakes. Attention has also been paid to the maintenance and bleeding process, which have been improved to make home maintenance a simpler process. A convenient one-way bleeding system, combined with an easy hose joint system, makes for simple installation and adjustment.
