The Grand Cru Long Reach (47-57mm) caliper brakes are super stiff, probably the stiffest long reach brakes ever made. In testing, we found these to outperform every other long reach brake and many short reach racing brakes that cost significantly more. The smooth, dual-pivot design offers superb modulation and power - very important on a steep mountain descent. There is even clearance for 45mm fenders!

These are made in a small shop in Taiwan run by a former bike racer and engineer. The brake's finish is anodized and highly polished, so they'll look great for years to come. The included brake shoes come with high quality pads and take standard Shimano-type replacements.

Wrench and a carbon fork mounting nut are included. 355gms per pair including shoes, pads, and nuts.

Sold as a set, front and rear. Available in Polished Silver and Noir.

Best brakes I have used, period.

Far and away the best rim brakes I have used. They kept me from bothering with discs at all for years. I still think they perform better than disc when it's dry, albeit with a little less modulation. They do admirably in the wet (for rim brakes). The stock pads are awesome, and they work well with Kool Stop salmons as well.

Should They Call Them “Freins”?

I recently converted one of my bikes back to 700c from 650b, and had to replace the long reach brakes that worked with the smaller wheels. I was looking for brakes that would complement the mostly French running gear on the bike, and found Velo Orange’s Grand Cru brakes to be the perfect solution. The silver alloy finish is pretty, the brakes fit and stop very well, and the sorta-French name fits the overall theme. Perhaps VO should call them “freins”?

I love them

Amazing long reach high performance caliper brakes!

Power on a long reach brake.

They brake better than my ultegra short reach brake... and that's good !
