Tektro Caliper Md-M280

The Tektro MD-M280 is a cable-actuated mechanical disc brake caliper designed for compatible mountain bike and mechanical disc brake systems. It uses a two-piece aluminum and steel body for a practical balance of durability and weight, while the automatic caliper centering system helps simplify alignment during installation and adjustment. The caliper also features pad adjustment and an automatic pad-angle adjustment system using floating plates, helping maintain consistent contact with the brake rotor. Its low-noise resin brake pads are designed for quieter braking and easy replacement. Finished in black, the MD-M280 is suitable for bicycles using a compatible post-mount mechanical disc brake setup and a linear-pull brake lever. The caliper weighs approximately 200g per wheel, excluding the rotor, adapter and mounting bolts.
