Shorty Ultimate Cantilever Brake

Description |

The Avid Shorty Ultimate Cantilever Brake is a high performance rim brake designed for cyclocross, gravel, and mixed terrain riding where mud clearance and modulation are critical. Its open arm design sheds debris effectively, while the adjustable stance options allow riders to balance braking power against tire and mud clearance.

Shorty Ultimate brakes are front and rear specific. While braking performance and pad compatibility are the same, the front and rear versions differ in cable routing geometry and arm orientation to ensure proper leverage and smooth cable pull at each mounting location. Choosing the correct front or rear version is important for optimal setup and braking feel.
