System 1 - Full Hydraulic

System 1 is composed of a handlebar pump, hydraulic pipe (also available in stainless steel), and caliper with two opposite pistons. This small, lightweight, and totally reliable brake is highly recommended for use on-road as well as for cross-country riding and freeriding.
The hubs, just like all of the other systems described below, are strictly "heavy duty", and feature water proof ball bearings with robust disk holder, flanges, cassette for 8 or 9 speeds, and diamond-finished surface. The disk (available in 185, 160 and 140 diameter) are made of stainless steel with helical design for quicker cooling.

 

System 2- Full Hydraulic

Like System 1, System 2 is composed of a handlebar pump, hydraulic pipe (also available in stainless steel), and semi-floating caliper with adjuster with double side piston. This provides even more powerful braking, making System 2 ideal for downhill riding.

System 4- Hydromechanic

This is a completely new concept in hydraulic brake systems, composed of a caliper with pump and tank incorporated in a single unit. This means that the brake lever can be used with a normal bicycle cable, making assembly extremely simple while mainteining all the power and flexibility of a hydraulic brake.
The system 4 caliper is semi-floating with center adjuster, and is driven by a side piston.
The Sytem 4 is recommended for any on-road and off-road use.

 

System 5- Hydromechanic

Based on the same concept of System 4, but with semi-floating caliper with center adjuster driven by two side pistons for increased braking power, making it suitable for downhill use like System 2.

 

System 6- Mechanic

This is a small, economical mechanical caliper driven by brake lever and normal bicycle cable, with purely mechanical movement of the side piston.
Recommended for those using a bicycle disk brake for the first time.

 

System 7- Mechanic

This is a small, economical mechanical caliper driven by brake lever and normal bicycle cable, with purely mechanical movement of the side piston. With larger pads

System 8- Full Hydraulic

Like System 1, System 8 is composed of a handlebar pump, hydraulic pipe (also available in stainless steel) and caliper with 4 opposite and differentiated pistons. This small, lightweight and totally reliable brake is highly recommended for use on-road as well as for cross-country riding and freeriding.

Bike Hubs

Pair of bike hubs adaptable with Systemsi 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7.
Available with 6 or 5 holes for disk fixing and 32 or 36 holes for spokes connection.
Light alloy front and rear hubs for bicycle - with disc brake or without brake -. Complete hydraulic and mechanical braking systems for bicycle. These products are manufactured by Bassano Grimeca on their own project and delivered ready for use.
Bike Wheels

3-spokes S wheels in special Aluminium
and wheels in Magnesium alloy

An absolutely new product: beyond their futuristic design, Grimeca special alloy wheels assure long life and stability that far exceed common spoked wheels.
Because they are in a special aluminium alloy and on bearings, they require no maintenance. In addition, they assure better assembling, centering, and braking performance with disk compared to common spoked wheels.

The Millennium Magnesium wheels are the ultimate lightest and strongest solution for the bicycle disk brake: indeed the Mag wheels avoid any problem of re-truing the wheel which is typical of the traditional spoked wheels, which will come out of true much faster with the disk brake.

Moreover the Mag wheels allow the fitting-with Tubeless tyres without any problem. As for the motorcycles, also the bicycles disk brake needs a Mag wheel, and the Magnesium wheels of our production are the synthesis of the most modern technology and functional design needed in the New Millennium.

Light-alloy complete front and rear wheels for bicycle. Many diameters available from 12 to 28, in a wide range of colors.
Bassano Grimeca design and manufacture these products by delivering them ready for use and complete with hydraulic and mechanic brake systems.
Magnesium wheel diameter 22x559 for tyre 47x559 (26x1,75)
