"What makes this M5 side-pull brake special is the material it's made
of: 7075-T6 airplane aluminium, cut according to the Finite Elements
Method, which is unique in the bicycle branche. Result is not only one
of the lightest brakes (just 71 gram), but by far the stiffest brake
available, exceeding even large companies like Shimano or Campagnolo."

Not fussed on lightest, but I do like the sound of stiffest. I'd be
interested to read a review on them.
 
Go to 'Poshbike' for some half the weight of these
