DXR is the only BMX racing grade from Shimano.
Recently, this DXR V-brake is graded as the highest.
(They also have T4000 which we usually use for Rivendell is from Alivio.)
There used to be V-brakes from XTR and XT which are the higher grade of Shimano MTB components.
Tani the manager of Kamiuma store has installed XT v-brakes which he got around 7 years ago on his Clem, I always feel envy every single time I see them.
(I, I don’t regret not buying it at all, you know?)
Everyone must have experienced this at least once in their lives before like you don’t feel nothing when something is available as a current product, but you’d start looking for it seriously after it’s got discontinued and barely found.
I believe this is gonna be the same since there’s no information that they’ll release alternative ones in the future.
Its polish-like silver finish is only available just for few Shimano products right now.
Don’t forget to switch the brake shoes oppositely since it’s originally designed as a rear brake.
And also, this brake lever is already discontinued too.
I do recommend you all to get them while you could.
The trick to justify is saying to yourself like “This is an investment. I’m now buying a gold nugget.”.
Don’t take your parents and rim brakes for granted.
