SAFETY AT SPEED
Safety is a fundamental requirement in [hidden] cycling. Modolo is fully aware of this and programmes [hidden] her research to combine in this sport maximum performance with minimum risks.
The results of this research can be seen in this illustration representing the special construction techniques (all international patents) which distinguish the trustworthiness of Modolo brakes.
The central shaft, of double diameter, in treated, rectified titanium, allows easy regulation of play and guarantees extraordinarily strong resistance to flexture and traction. The washers separating the brackets are in turned bronze and plated with 8 microns of 24 ct. gold to protect them from oxidisation, then well-tempered and seasoning for about three months, befor beginning with work on tool-machine.
The bracket, the brake-block and the brake levers have a protective

coating of extra hard oxide which is scratchproof and wear-proof. The basic material of the brackets resists 55 Kg/mm2 and is heat forged to give it a perfect flow of fibres.
The revolutionary sintered compound brake blocks
Still unmatchable, the sintered brake blocks were exhaustively tested in 1983 by top champions such as Hinault, Lemond, Fignon, Visentini, Bontempi, Battaglin, etc. and are now available to the discerning cyclist seeking strong, gradual braking, even on wet surface.
Racing bike gearing
Modolo gearing is also unique for its high precision. Used in racing, and available in different colours, it has an exclusive feature: the special cable is coated in molybdenum bisulphide, to increase safety and smoothness.
Modolo lever are the only ones with trim front and back.
Comfort and elegance
The Functionality, creativity and design offer you a product without comparison. As for instance, in the brake levers, with their splendid design and unmistakable distinguisting front and back trim. The Handrests (right and left) has special internal cavity for shock-absorbing (Modolo Patent), and offer so a very good comfort and functionality.
Modolo: a leading product you can trust
Modolo brakes are known and respected all over the world, thanks to the champions who have chosen them for their most prestigious victories, to the mechanics and technicians who have constantly improved them in the light of their practical experience.
A patrimony of skill and creativity blended into a technical prodigy which we offer to the keen cyclist.
