The PAUL Klamper is the benchmark for mechanical disc brakes.
Massive stopping power, buttery‑smooth cable feel, and fully serviceable construction make it the go‑to choice for riders who want hydraulic performance without hydraulic headaches.
If you want a brake that lasts forever, adjusts easily, and performs flawlessly in Bakersfield heat and dust, this is the one.
Why We Carry It
Because Bakersfield riding demands brakes you can trust.
Between foothill descents, dusty canal paths, and long days loaded with gear, we wanted a mechanical brake that:
- bites hard
- stays consistent in heat
- is easy to adjust on the fly
- lasts a lifetime
- looks as good as it performs
The Klamper checks every box — and then some.
