Review: EEbrakes G4 Replica

Conclusion
I’ve run them now for several hundred km in this setup and have no real issues with them. Braking performance with the Campagnolo red pads is terrific, although I haven’t tried them in wet conditions yet. These callipers are super lightweight at ~180g and have few competitors at this weight, namely only some equally exotic callipers from THM, Ciamillo and a few others. Or you could buy the real deal for crazy money

Hits:

• Super lightweight, some of the lightest weight rim brakes available
  
• The finishing on the arms and bridge piece is very good and nicely machined
  
• Non-linear linkage design gives good clearance to the rims due to the non-linear design but also gives strong leverage when compressed
  
• Good braking power with a firm bite, a nice lever feel and confidence inspiring
  
• Overall they seem like a very good copy of the real deal, although I haven’t tried or seen the real ones first hand.
  
  

Misses

• The included hardware is a poor fit and quality. Recommended to change out the brake pad holder hardware as it’s quite cheap and easy to do so.
  
• Setup can be quite difficult, especially if you have a smaller frame with shorter runs of unsupported cable outer. This can prove nearly impossible if combined with compressionless outer or any similar outer that is inflexible
  
• Braking is ever so slightly grabbier than dual pivots, not a big negative but something to keep in mind. This is mainly due to their non-linear nature.
