Bringing a completely new meaning to ABS….the APV is the most Advanced Braking System on the market!
The patented Ashima Power Valve (APV) technology delivers the performance of a 26mm Down-Hill monster but provides the feather-light control/modulation and finesse normally associated with a light-weight cross-county system.
The patented axially mounted piston configuration gives all the benefits of a multi-piston system….such as progressive feel and of course, the phenomenal stopping power provided by the additional piston area… but in the weight/space envelope of a standard 2-piston brake.
Ashima APV…. setting the standard!

| Features: |
|
ー 2 Stage brake performance
1st Stage: Total controlled deceleration, braking force is only generated by the 14mm inner pistons, for when you simply want to kill speed but not stop.
2nd Stage: Ultimate performance stopping power, braking force generated by both the 14mm and 22mm outer
pistons giving a combined area equivalent to 26mm, for……when you want the World to stop!
ー APV: Ashima Power Valve technology
ー 4 Co-axially mounted pistons, for power without the weight
ー External fluid transfer, to limit “pump-up”
ー Kick Down feel in the lever, giving the feed-back and total control
ー Air cooled pistons
ー Unrivaled aesthetics

PCB: World's 1st Pistonless Hydraulic Brake
Ashima re-invented the hydraulic brake by making the seal do thework of the piston. The patented diaphragm technology delivers theperformance of a traditional 21mm piston, but in a significantly reduced package, making it one of the lightest brake systems on the market.
Taking the PCB into mass production in 2010 gave Ashima the
opportunity to fully understand the limitations of design in the real World
hence the 2011 version is NEW & IMPROVED |
|
| Features: |
| |
ー Pad movement controlled by Diaphragm seal
ーUnsurpassed pad retraction/modulation
ーNo more sticky pistons, due to corrosion
ーReduced noise as diaphragm absorbs vibrations
ー Ultra thin light weight caliper
ー Braking power equivalent to Ø21mm pistons
ー External fluid transfer, to limit “pump-up”
ー Ultra-light Engineering grade plastic master cylinder
ー Unrivaled aesthetics
ー Extremely price competitive!
