The RISK RT146 / RA160 / RL256 / RL317 / RL247 Disc Brake Caliper Service Series is designed for road bike hydraulic disc brake caliper maintenance, piston replacement, seal replacement, piston resetting, and caliper side cover removal.

The RT146 titanium caliper piston features a lightweight titanium alloy outer shell with a polymer heat-insulation inner pad. The inner pad uses a ventilation groove design to help improve heat dissipation and reduce heat transfer during braking. It is suitable for compatible road hydraulic disc brake calipers including Shimano R7170, R8170, and R9270 series calipers.

The product range also includes RA160 piston sealing O-rings, RL256 hydraulic brake piston reset tools, RL317 caliper side cover removal tool with auxiliary block, and RL247 3/8" ratchet wrench. These items can be purchased individually, making the series suitable for professional bike shops, home mechanics, and riders who perform brake caliper servicing and repair.
