A practical choice for riders replacing a worn mechanical caliper on an entry-level MTB, hybrid or other bike using long-pull levers and compatible CENTER LOCK equipment.
The Shimano Tourney TX BR-TX805 is a mechanical disc brake caliper for the front or rear of a compatible bike. It uses cable actuation, so it is a sensible choice when you want straightforward installation and easy workshop adjustment without hydraulic bleeding. The caliper is designed for long-pull MTB levers, including compatible V-BRAKE BL levers.
On the trail or during everyday riding, the TX805 delivers smooth, light action and reliable braking performance. Its 20% wider pad clearance than the BR-M416-A helps reduce the chance of pad-rubbing noise, while the clean cable-routing design works with both chainstay and seatstay mounting positions.
This caliper uses resin pads only and is compatible with Shimano CENTER LOCK rotors in 160 mm or 180 mm sizes. It supports compatible SM-RT10 and SM-RT26 rotors, but the rotor and frame or fork mount adaptor are not included, so check your bike’s mounting standard, lever pull and existing rotor before ordering.
