When it comes to cycling, there’s one thing every rider — whether you’re a weekend cruiser or
a serious mountain shredder — absolutely needs: good brakes.
At Sprandom, we don’t just manufacture brakes. We engineer confidence, safety, and control,
right here in India, for Indian roads, riders, and weather. Whether you’re rolling through narrow
city lanes, battling a hill climb, or simply navigating a slippery shortcut after a monsoon
downpour, the right brakes can make all the difference.
Let’s break down what you really need to know to choose the perfect braking system for your
ride.
First Things: What Types of Brakes Are Out There?
You’ve got options. Each one comes with its own pros and cons.
- Rim Brakes
You’ll usually find these on city and budget bikes. They’re lightweight and easy to maintain.
• Great for flat, dry roads.
• Not ideal in rain or muddy conditions.
• Sprandom’s rim brakes are built for long wear and easy cable replacements. - Disc Brakes
The go-to choice for most performance-focused riders today. These come in mechanical (cable)
and hydraulic (fluid-powered) varieties.
• Amazing stopping power in any weather
• Slightly pricier, but worth every rupee
• Sprandom disc brakes are built for everything from city rides to Himalayan climbs
Why Indian Riders Are Choosing Disc Brakes
Let’s be real—Indian roads throw everything at you: dust, rain, potholes, steep hills, and
unexpected stops. That’s where disc brakes shine.
With Sprandom Disc Brakes, you get:
• Smooth, controlled stops in all conditions
• No rim wear, so your wheels last longer
• More control, especially going downhill or riding fast
Whether you’re riding through Pune in peak traffic or exploring trails in Himachal, disc brakes
give you peace of mind.
