Until Campagnolo set the world on its ear with its Record sidepull brakes in 1968, high-performance brakes were centerpull. The most notable centerpull was the Mafac Racer, made famous by five-time Tour de France winner Jacques Anquetil.
Since then, Campagnolo brakes have been sought-after works of functional art.
Campagnolo Chorus Differential Caliper Set. New, $200.00/set
Part# 81095
- We have 27 sets in stock
- Produced about 2006
- Made in Italy
The front is a powerful dual pivot caliper while the rear is a single pivot. Since the rider's weight gets thrown to the front during braking, by making the rear caliper slightly less powerful, the rider has a smaller chance of causing the rear wheel to skid.

Chorus Skeleton Differential Silver Brake Calipers. New, $250.00/set
Part# 81098
- Campagnolo part# BR7-CHD
- Campagnolo performed an advanced structural analysis and removed all unnecessary material and added to where it would improve braking power.
- The front is a powerful dual pivot caliper while the rear is a single pivot. Since the rider's weight gets thrown to the front during braking, by making the rear caliper slightly less powerful, the rider has a smaller chance of causing the rear wheel to skid.
- The calipers have ball-bearing pivots for extra-smooth actuation.
These calipers are not only superb stoppers, their design is quite striking.
