Buy disc brake sets online – Safety and Performance
Whether you need to replace an existing brake, upgrade to a more powerful hydraulic version or simply need spare parts for your current system: In this category you will find complete front and rear wheel sets that are matched to the respective load. Especially with frequent descents, high system weight or wet conditions, high-quality disc brakes offer clear advantages over conventional rim brakes.
Mechanical or hydraulic disc brakes?
Mechanical disc brakes are actuated via a Bowden cable – they are robust, easy to maintain and particularly popular for everyday and entry-level bikes. Hydraulic disc brakes work with brake fluid (e.g. DOT or mineral oil) and impress with high modulation, even power transmission and less manual maintenance. For sporty riders, e-bikes and heavy cargo bikes, hydraulic systems are usually the better choice.
Matching disc brake sets for your bicycle
When buying, pay attention to the correct disc brake rotor size (approx. 140 mm, 160 mm, 180 mm or 203 mm), the mounting type (Post Mount or Flat Mount) and compatibility with your fork, frame and wheels. Many sets already include matching adapters and bolts. If you are unsure, the specifications of the bicycle or fork manufacturers as well as our product details will help.

Who are disc brake sets suitable for?
This category is aimed at cyclists who want to upgrade, replace their brakes or build a new bike. Whether you ride a city bike, a trekking bike, an e-bike or a mountain bike – a suitable disc brake set ensures more safety and better braking performance, especially in wet conditions and on long descents. The selection is also ideal for workshops and DIY mechanics.
Quality and safety for disc brakes
When buying, pay attention to the workmanship of the brake calipers, high-quality pads and correct installation. Hydraulic systems should be bled regularly, mechanical brakes require occasional cable tension adjustments. All brands listed here meet high safety standards and are designed for use on roads as well as off-road.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of disc brakes are there?▾
Basically, a distinction is made between mechanical and hydraulic disc brakes. Mechanical brakes are actuated via a Bowden cable, hydraulic systems work with brake fluid. Both offer clear advantages over rim brakes, with hydraulic brakes generally being more powerful and easier to modulate.
Are disc brakes better than rim brakes?▾
In wet conditions and on long descents, disc brakes deliver more consistent braking power and are less susceptible to rim wear. They also allow greater tire clearance. For modern bicycles, e-bikes and bikes with higher system weight, they are therefore often the better choice.
What disc brake rotor size do I need?▾
Common diameters range from 140 mm to 203 mm. City and touring bikes usually use 160 mm front and rear, e-bikes and mountain bikes often rely on 180 mm or 203 mm. Larger rotors offer more braking power and better heat dissipation – important with high system weight and steep gradients.
How do I change pads and bleed a hydraulic disc brake?▾
To change the pads, it is usually enough to loosen a split pin or a screw. Bleeding requires a suitable bleed kit and the brake fluid specified by the manufacturer (mineral oil or DOT). You can find step-by-step instructions in the respective service videos from the manufacturers or in our advice section.
Do all disc brake sets fit my bicycle?▾
This depends on the mount on the fork and frame (Post Mount or Flat Mount), the disc brake rotor size and compatibility with your brake levers. Before purchasing, you should check the manufacturer's specifications or choose a set with matching adapters. A specialist workshop can help if you are unsure.
What should I consider when installing a disc brake set?▾
The correct alignment of the brake caliper to the rotor, careful tightening of all bolts with the correct torque and bedding in new pads are important. For hydraulic systems, you should also ensure tight lines and the correct brake fluid level.
Which disc brakes are suitable for e-bikes and cargo bikes?▾
Due to the higher total weight and sometimes higher speeds, powerful hydraulic brakes with larger rotors (180 mm or 203 mm) are recommended. Brands such as Magura, Shimano (Saint, Deore XT) and SRAM (Code) offer special models optimized for e-bikes and cargo bikes.
How do Shimano and SRAM brakes differ?▾
Shimano uses mineral oil and is characterized by fine modulation and low maintenance requirements. SRAM relies on DOT brake fluid and often offers a more aggressive, more direct braking effect. Both manufacturers cover a wide range of models from entry-level to high-end.
