Cane Creek Direct Mount G4 eeBrake

EE G4 Direct Mount Brakeset

The Cane Creek G4 eeBrake sets the benchmark for ultralight, high-performance rim brakes. At just ~78 g, it rivals top-tier systems from Shimano and Campagnolo—without sacrificing power or modulation.

The G4 redesign increases caliper stiffness by using thinner bushings and removing outer flanges, resulting in better lever feedback and a sleeker look. Its linkage-driven design delivers exceptional stopping force with a linear, controlled power curve.

Pad changes are fast and tool-free thanks to the unique notch-and-groove carrier system, ideal for riders switching between carbon and alloy rims. The secure fit resists movement under all braking forces, yet allows quick pad swaps by hand.

Made in the USA and built for serious performance, the G4 is a premier choice for road, triathlon, and climbing builds.

Ordering

Each Cane Creek eeBrake G4 Direct Mount caliper is sold individually. Selection depends on your frame’s brake mount configuration. Refer to the descriptions below and contact us with any compatibility questions.

• Front or Rear (Fork or Seatstay Mount): Uses the standard front eeBrake with an aero-machined front arch. Compatible with most fork-mounted direct mount standards and seatstay mounts like those found on the Trek Emonda.
  Note: Aero frames with tight clearance—such as the Specialized Tarmac SL6 in sizes ≤54 cm—may require the short lever version.
• Rear Chainstay Mount (Under-BB): Designed for road and TT bikes with a bottom-bracket-mounted rear brake. The slim profile clears power meter crankarms (Stages, Pioneer, Dura-Ace) and uses center-exit cable routing for tight under-BB space.
• Rear Seatstay Short Lever Version: Built for small and aero frames with limited clearance. The Specialized Tarmac SL6 in sizes 49–54 cm requires this version, often with the additional adapter kit.
