Chinese brand Star Union has introduced its new premium brake line-up, under the name Suhr.
The new Suhr R740 brakes are made from CNC-machined 7075-T6 aluminium alloy and feature cooling fins built into the 4-piston caliper.
The brand says the brakes, which were on show at Eurobike, are purpose-built for downhill and enduro bikes, with the caliper featuring 16mm pistons.
Tool-free adjustment for reach is used on the lever, but there isn't any contact adjust as on other high-end brakes.
This isn't something ubiquitous on top-spec mountain bike brakes, with Trickstuff's £1,300 Maxima brakes only featuring reach adjustment.
Suhr says the brakes weigh 299.3g for the front with a 1,000mm hose, and 318.5g for the rear with a 1,800mm hose.
Mineral oil is used in the system and stainless steel-backed carbon ceramic pads are employed in the caliper.
An anodised finish features on the lever and caliper, with black, silver and purple available.
The brakes are priced at $450, which seems competitive with other premium stoppers.
