Engineered for mountain biking enthusiasts, this high-performance brake combines innovative design, robust materials, and versatile features for optimal cycling performance across challenging terrains. Materials & Construction Constructed from lightweight yet durable aluminum, the Avid BB7 caliper ensures strength without adding unnecessary weight, weighing approximately 329 grams. The fully sealed ball bearing mechanism offers smooth, maintenance-free operation, while the gray finish provides a sleek, professional look that complements any mountain bike setup. Performance & Engineering Designed for long-lasting, reliable braking, the BB7 features a Tri-Align Caliper Positioning System (CPS) that simplifies rotor and caliper alignment for maximum efficiency.

It comes equipped with G2 CleanSweep 6-bolt / 44mm BCD rotor and sintered-metallic pads with steel backing for superior braking performance and durability in muddy or wet conditions.

Its robust design and versatile moun Review: Reliable and adjustable - I got one of these about a year ago to replace a cheap brake on a campus bike, and liked it so much that I got another one for my mountain bike build. These brakes are easy to maintain, requiring only a couple tools to completely overhaul it, let alone keep it running. I do notice that these brakes are noisy when they get wet, but otherwise are very quiet. The stopping power is great, and I feel I can go faster safely because I can rely on these brakes to stop me quickly. I have not used hydros, but when coupled with the speed levers from Avid, these have a lot of modulation. Installation is easy, and getting the rotors to not rub is simple. All the screws have thread locking material on them, and I have yet to worry about a screw coming loose. The set comes with all the hardware you need to mount to the front or the back, minus cables and housing. Once the pads start to wear down, it's just a simple matter of a click every few months to keep the pad clearance right. The only gripes I have with them is the rubber boot that wears out, but these could honestly run without them, and the noise when wet, which comes with the territory of disc brakes. These do take a bit to wear in, but once you get it, these brakes perform very well. I doubt that I will be using others in future builds. Review: Very impressed! - It took me about 1 1/2 hours to install both brakes including fine adjustments (1 hr. on the first one, 2nd went much quicker. This also included removing the old ProMax or "zoom" brakes). The boxes came with everything I needed for complete installation on front and rear. My bike is a Mongoose XR-PRO 29", which came with horrible disk brakes. After installation I took a 5 1/2 mile ride around the hilly back streets of Ashland, KY. I was very surprised and impressed at the stopping power of these brakes compared to my stock brakes! Absolutely no comparison. And they are very smooth and quiet. I haven't experienced any squealing noises yet. Maybe I will later, but on this initial test run they were as quiet and smooth as can be. The price of these brakes is very reasonable, and THEY DO COME WITH PADS, in case you are not sure. The adjustment "knobs" for both inside and outside pads make adjusting these brakes very easy and precise. I realize I've only used these for a short ride, but if they continue to be as great as this, they couldn't be any better. ## Features - Caliper has 74mm mounting bolt spacing; IS 51mm mounting adaptor is included - Engineered with durable aluminum calipers and a sealed ball bearing mechanism, ensuring long-lasting performance and corrosion resistance in rugged outdoor conditions - Features Tri-Align Caliper Positioning System (CPS) for effortless rotor and caliper alignment, reducing installation time and ensuring optimal braking efficiency on every ride - Includes 160mm G2 CleanSweep 6-bolt rotors and sintered-metallic pads, providing superior heat dissipation, consistent braking, and reliable stopping power in demanding trail and cross-country riding - Designed for versatility with post mount (74mm) compatibility, long cable-pull design for responsive braking, and tool-free pad adjustment, making maintenance quick and seamless for mountain bikers of all skill levels ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003TV7FHI | | Automotive Fit Type | Universal Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #563,668 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #205 in Bike Disc Brake Sets | | Brand | Avid | | Brand Name | Avid | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Bicycle | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 154 Reviews | | Exterior Finish | Aluminum | | Finish Type | Natural | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00710845641008 | | Included Components | Disc Brake Calipers | | Item Diameter | 16 centimeters | | Item Highlight | Avid BB7 MTB Mechanical Disc Brake | 160mm Steel Sintered Pads, Grey | | Item Weight | 0.19 kg | | Manufacturer | Avid | | Manufacturer Part Number | Avid-DBCP0171 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited Warranty | | Material | Aluminum | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Model Number | 142392 | | Number of Items | 1 | | UPC | 710845641008 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Vehicle Service Type | Bicycle | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Avid - **Material:** Aluminum - **Exterior Finish:** Aluminum - **Vehicle Service Type:** Street-Touring-Motorcycles - **Manufacturer:** Avid - **UPC:** 710845641008 - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00710845641008 ## Images ![Avid BB7 MTB G2 Front or Rear Rotor - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716Js4AFBoL.jpg) ![Avid BB7 MTB G2 Front or Rear Rotor - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61pI3MWcPSL.jpg) ![Avid BB7 MTB G2 Front or Rear Rotor - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61cWihdFXXL.jpg) ![Avid BB7 MTB G2 Front or Rear Rotor - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61cuAld8SJL.jpg) ![Avid BB7 MTB G2 Front or Rear Rotor - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zHn9BZ91L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable and adjustable *by A***Y on September 14, 2013* I got one of these about a year ago to replace a cheap brake on a campus bike, and liked it so much that I got another one for my mountain bike build.

Was not happy with the stock tektro brakes. Figured they needed adjusting and such. But to me the brakes are important because we want to haul a kiddy trailer behind us for our future kids. Wanted the extra braking power to ensure ours and our kids safety if that we were going down hills or motorists not watching. Took 30 min per brake. Or a hour per bike for removing old brakes and installing the new brakes with proper adjustment. Was quite easy. I'm slightly mechanically inclined but haven't done much work on bikes before. Used the stock adapter on the specialized myka for the rear brake. Performance wise, before break in fronts would now be able to throw me over and can perform stoppies with pretty good control. They are noisy and sound awful, they are supposed to quiet down after break in. Rear brakes don't have the noise that the fronts do. Must be something to do with the way they are mounted. Much greater stopping power over the tektro. I now have the ability to lock up the rear brakes where as I could not do that before. I'd buy them again. A must upgrade in my books. And much cheaper then going to hydraulic brakes. ## Frequently Bought Together - Avid BB7 MTB G2 Front or Rear Rotor - SHIMANO Universal Standard Brake Cable Set, For MTB or Road Bikes - Avid Brake Lever Speed Dial 7 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/4378784-avid-bb7-mtb-g2-front-or-rear-rotor](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/4378784-avid-bb7-mtb-g2-front-or-rear-rotor) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
