The Paul Component Neo-Retro is a wide-profile cantilever brake inspired by the classic geometry of the Mafac Tandem. While it retains a heritage look, it is built with modern materials for superior stopping power and reliability. This brake is a favorite for cyclocross, touring, and vintage-style builds where maximum mud clearance and mechanical advantage are required.

Hand-crafted in the USA, the Neo-Retro features a sealed pivot system and adjustable spring tension for a smooth, precise lever feel. It comes stock with high-quality Kool-Stop pads and is designed for use with standard short-pull brake levers. Its wide stance offers plenty of room for large tires and fenders, making it a versatile choice for rugged terrain.
