AERODYNAMIC SUPREMECY

Omega One is the fastest brake we have ever made, and the first brake we’ve ever tested that actually makes the bike faster than having no brake at all. You can finally get that superbike performance in a standalone brake. And it is fast from all angles, whether mounted up front, in back, or below the bottom bracket. Even the cable stop is aero-shaped!

OPTIMIZED & IMPROVED

Every aspect of our previous brakes has been tweaked and improved. Omega One has less frontal area while simultaneously improving stiffness, modulation, and range of adjustment. Every last millimeter of space has been shaved away, leaving only the most efficient shapes. The new front plate improves retention and fitment, while maintaining the simple convenience of our well-loved magnetic closure.

PRACTICAL

Omega One represents the pinnacle of everything TriRig has learned about brakes. It’s simple to set up, adjust, and use. It’s easy to travel with, allowing you to pop out the Wedge and housing, leaving your perfectly-adjusted brake on the fork while freeing your handlebars for safe storage. It accommodates the largest road rims and tires on the market, and its huge adjustment range means it will work no matter the peculiarities of your particular frame.And of course, Omega One keeps everything that made its predecessors so great. Read about the brake’s features in depth, right here »All Features.

OMEGA - FEATURES

AERODYNAMICS

UNIFIED SHAPE

In the past, our brakes were built one part at a time, and joined into a whole that was, indeed, the sum of its parts. Omega One turns that concept on its head; we started with a single unified form, based on the smallest possible space envelope that would meet the mechanical requirements. Then, we shaped that envelope into an aerodynamic form, and finally carved out the component parts from that aero shape. The result is a brake that is impossibly beautiful, elegant, and minimal, yet maintains all the mechanical proterties and features of our earlier brakes.

WIND TUNNEL PROVEN

Like all of our brakes, Omega One was developed in the wind tunnel. This is the fastest brake we have ever made, the fastest brake we have ever tested, and is in fact faster than having no brake at all. That’s right; putting the Omega One on your fork actually reduces drag compared to having no brake at all! Read all about it in our Wind Tunnel Report.

TINY FRONTAL PROFILE

Although our previous brakes were small, Omega One is absolutely knife-like. It is the smallest possible shape which meets the mechanical necessities of braking. When mounted to a modern fork, it will add no frontal area at all, and in fact improve the aero shape of the fork. Other brakes stick out well past the frontal profile of the bike, disrupting air flow and robbing you of precious Watts. And Omega One’s centerpull design means that the brake cable and housing get to hide from the wind as well, leaving nothing exposed.

POWERFUL, ROBUST, LIGHTWEIGHT

IMPROVED MECHANICAL FORMULA

The Omega’s rollercam Wedge design provides an enormous mechanical advantage for excellent stopping power, smooth action and excellent modulation. Omega One improves on our past shapes, improving modulation while increasing power. It’s as easy to install as ever, more powerful than before, and with plenty of modulation. You can go from no braking to completely locking your wheels, with infinite modulation in between the extremes.

HIDDEN INTERNALS, SAME WEIGHT

The new integrated shapes mean that all the internals are hidden from the wind and the elements, making the brake faster and also more robust. At the same time, we were able to maintain the same ultra-light weight as our prior brakes, making them lighter than Dura-Ace or Campagnolo Record, while still providing superlative power, modulation, and aerodynamics.

POWERFUL RETURN SPRING

A powerful spring on the rear of the brake returns it to neutral quickly and efficiently. This single fixed spring design reduces size of the brake, and allows us to keep the width narrower than most head tubes.

EXTENSIVE TESTING

The Omega brakes have passed the world’s most rigorous braking safety tests from CEN and CPSC with flying colors. Omega performs well in both dry and wet conditions, and has been ridden ridden in every kind of training and racing environment, under some of the world’s strongest professional riders. With Omega brakes dating back to 2012, we can proudly say the design has stood the test of time.

USER-FRIENDLY

Simplified Installation

Omega One is as easy to install as our prior brakes. The magnetic front plate offers instant access to the brake’s internals. The Wedge provides a ‘home position’ for the brake’s Levers, making installation straightforward and foolproof. And with independent pad position adjustment, it’s easier than ever to set your brake and adjust as needed. Everywhere on the brake, we took care to make sure the details were done right. For example, every fastener on the brake is either stainless steel or titanium, for excellent corrosion resistance. The underside of the Omega’s Front Plate forms a complete cover for the underside, helping to improve airflow and help keep the brake’s interior clean.

INDEPENDENT PAD ADJUSTMENT

There is a set screw on each side that controls how far the pad is from the brake track. If you switch to a wider rim, just move the pads outward – no need to recable the brake or do anything else to compromise the performance and aerodynamics of the brake. If your brake pad has worn down, just move the pads inward. It is very quick and the most precise way to achieve optimal brake pad position. And because the pad stance is independently adjustable on each side, you can easily accommodate an out-of-true wheel or an off-centered brake mount.

COMPATIBILITY AND FIT

MULTIPLE STANDARDS SUPPORTED

Omega One is compatible with a traditional single-post mount, Shimano direct-mount, and TRP U-brake direct mount standards. This allows it to work with virtually any tri bike on the market! All fasteners and adapters necessary are included, so no matter what kind of shape your frame is in, you’ll be able to mount the Omega One. See the Compatibility Page for details.

WORKS WITH ANY RIM, FRONT OR REAR

Nowadays, wide rims are becoming more and more popular. They offer increased stability and comfort, and have little downside. A lot of brakes on the market aren’t compatible with wide rims as the brakes can’t open wide enough. The Omega One, accommodates rims as wide as 30mm. It can also close down to work just fine with traditional narrow 19mm rims. So you can be sure the Omega One will work no matter what wheels you run. And you don’t have to modify your brake pads, because the Omega can open to 32mm when using full-size, 6mm-tall pads.

FULL CLEARANCE FOR STAGES, ETC.

Some bikes use a Shimano Direct-Mount rear brake. One disadvantage of this design is that they make it impossible to mount a crankarm-based powermeter like Stages. Omega One preserves the full clearance envelope, eliminating compatibility issues.

CNC PRECISION

Nearly every component of the brake is individually CNC machined out of aircraft-grade T6 aluminum. We’ve tightened up the tolerances, ensuring every brake fits together like a fine watch. Omega One is a true piece of precision gear.

OMEGA - COMPATIBILITY

COMPATIBILITY

The Omega One brake can be mounted using the road bike industry standard of a single M6 bolt and recessed nut. It works almost anywhere that a standard road brake does. It is also compatible with TRP U-Mount and Shimano Direct-Mount using the included Direct-Mount Adapter. It is not compatible with V-Brake mounts.

OMEGA - AERO DATA

OMEGA ONE WIND TUNNEL REPORT

Omega One was wind-tunnel tested in the world-renowned San Diego Low-Speed Wind Tunnel. We have used that tunnel to test many of our parts, including Alpha One aerobars, and the Omni bike. We typically use tunnel testing as validation, to confirm the CFD modeling that we do during the design process. Our tests validated that not only is Omega One the fastest brake we have ever tested, but it’s even faster than having no brake on the bike at all! You can improve Omega One’s aero performance even further by adding the Delta front cover, but even without Delta, Omega One is the fastest brake ever made. Get yours now!

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Omega One + Omni

Full Test Results

Weighted-Average Drag

Weight Set

We tested Omega One both on the Omni bicycle, as well as our baseline Cervelo P3 test rig, to provide a picture of how it would perform both on our radical frame and on a traditional double-diamond frame. Interestingly, the results were extremely consistent. Omega One made both bikes faster, to almost the same extent. Above, we’re showing the results on Omni, but they are substantially similar when we tested on the Cervelo P3. In analyzing the data, we compute weighted-average drag figures designed to simulate real-world wind conditions. The weight sets and the raw data are all available for readers to interpret themselves. In short, Omega One makes your bike faster than having no brake at all, and can be made even faster when you add the Delta cover.

TEST RIGS + PROTOCOL

Cervelo P3 test rig

We try to keep things very simple and straightforward when testing aero equipment. Ideally, only one thing is changed between two consecutive runs in the tunnel, in order to isolate the effects of that one change. For these bike-only tests, we ran the wheels and wind at 30mph, and sampled data for 15 seconds at each of 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, and 15 degrees of yaw. We tested Omega One both on our own Omni bicycle and also on the Cervelo P3 test rig we have used in the past, to see if we would see different results on traditional frames compared to our more radical one. In the end, it appears that Omega One has very similar performance regardless of which bicycle it is used on, saving significant drag for both. Both rigs were set up with identical wheels, saddles, drivetrains, cockpits, and positions.

INTERPRETING THE DATA

In most cases, the potential benefits of any change on a bicycle must be weighed against its potential drawbacks. In the case of Omega One, we are presented with the rare example of an unalloyed good. Omega One reduces drag across the entire yaw sweep, is significantly cleaner than any other brake on the market, and doesn’t have any real drawbacks. When adding the Delta cover, the drag savings are compounded. The combination of Omega and Delta saves almost 4 watts compared to using a traditional brake! That can translate to almost 0.5 seconds per kilometer of racing, or 90 seconds over an Ironman bike leg. The data here also corroborates what we learned in our previous studies, that Omni is a faster bike than its best-in-class double-diamond cousin, even when that double-diamond bike is set up with the fastest bars and brakes on the market. But these tests demonstrate that Omega One and Delta can help narrow that gap, bringing double-diamond performance even closer to that of the Omni. As always, the reader is encouraged to interpret the data for themselves and come to their own conclusions.

OMEGA - F.A.Q

Are the brakes available individually?
Yes. Every Omega brake is sold as a single unit.
Is the Omega One available as a rear brake?
Yes. Every Omega sold includes hardware to mount it as either a front or rear brake.
Is the Omega One compatible with my bike?
Please see the compatibility page for general reference. If your bike isn’t on this chart, check to see whether your bike uses a standard road brake caliper (Shimano, SRAM, Campagnolo). If it does, your bike is probably compatible.
Is the Omega One compatible with my wheel?
The short answer is yes. The Omega One brake was designed with a very wide range of adjustability, and is compatible with virtually every road bike rim on the market today. It can be used with traditional narrow rims (19mm), wide rims like Zipp Firecrest (27mm), and everything in between. And you don’t have to modify your brake pads, because the Omega can open to 32mm when using full-size, 6mm-tall brake pads.
What is the weight?
The Omega weighs 142g, complete with brake pads. Weight has not changed since the previous version. This is actual weight on our gram-accurate scale. It’s a very light caliper.
How strong is the brake? Is it comparable to other rim brakes like those from Shimano/SRAM/Campagnolo?
Omega One brakes have passed the world’s most rigorous braking safety tests, from CEN and CPSC, with flying colors. They are proven performers in both dry and wet conditions, both on the front and rear of a bicycle. They have been ridden down the steep descents of the Rocky Mountains successfully and without issue. Thay have more than enough power to lock up a wheel, and can modulate that power with ease, going from a light feather to a fast emergency stop with ease.
How aerodynamic is Omega One? Do you have any data?
We’ve collected quite a bit of data regarding the Omega’s prototype forms, using that data to improve the design along the way. It’s truly a wind-tunnel-developed product. For all the data and our corresponding article on the original Omega, see the Omega White Paper.Omega One is also the fastest brake we have ever developed. While it is not substantially faster than its predecessor, it is faster across all yaw angles by a small amount. And it achieves that feat while offering all of the other improvements over our earlier models such as improved strength and modulation, improved tire clearance, increased pad reach, improved weather sealing, and more. This is, truly, the pinnacle of aero braking.
I’ve heard most new bikes are moving to disc brakes. How does Omega One compare to disc brakes?
Disc brakes are simply not optimal for triathlon or TT bikes. The move to disc brakes is, sadly an industry-forced change that does not materially benefit most athletes. Omega One is as strong as any brake on the market, with enough power to easily lock up your wheel, and modulation so subtle that you can easily control how much of that power to use. Moreover, no disc brake will ever be able to compete with the aero performance of Omega One, not only due to the caliper itself, but the addition of the disc rotor, and the extra spokes necessary to support it. In short, disc brakes are less aero, heavier, and no better performing. A properly-installed Omega One will outperform any disc brake on the market, full stop (pun intended).
How do I install the Omega X? Do I have to use the integrated cable hanger? Do I have to use a steerer tube hanger? What comes with the brake?
Please see the installation page via the tab above. Omega comes with everything you need to install the brake.
What kind of brake pads does the Omega use?
The Omega’s integrated pad holders use full-size Shimano/SRAM-compatible brake pads. This means you can use any standard pad from SwissStop, Kool Stop, ENVE, Zipp, etc. Each Omega comes stock with Kool Stop Salmon pads, the industry-best pad for use on alloy rims. For carbon rims, we recommend buying SwissStop Black Prince pads from your local bike shop.
Do the brake pads have any toe adjustment?
No. Toe adjustment was eliminated from the Omega for a couple reasons. First and foremost, eliminating toe adjustment allowed the brake to get slimmer by about 6-8mm, saving a significant amount of frontal area. Second, toe adjustment is usually unnecessary. Toe adjustment is an attempt to solve the (relatively rare) problem of pad squealing, which is caused by arm flex in the direction of the wheel’s rotation. However, with stiffer brake arms, squealing usually isn’t a problem, and the Omega’s arms are some of the stiffest there are. From front to back, they have more material than most brakes, and therefore have very little flex.
Can I use a third-party pad holder if I want to achieve toe-in adjustment?
The official answer is no. TriRig does not condone or recommend the installation of third-party pad holders, because the Omega was not designed to hold them, and therefore they may present a safety concern. It may be possible to mount a third-party pad holder, but you do so at your own risk.
What is the best way to do fast tire changes? Can I install a barrel adjuster, or use a brake lever with an integrated barrel adjuster or quick release?
Do NOT use a barrel adjuster with the Omega. This essentially deploys the brake, ruins the aerodynamic profile, and limits the brake throw. But the modern trend is for road bike rim widths to exceed tire widths, meaning you can remove the wheel without adjusting the brake stance, and so a quick release is unnecessary. For narrow rims, you have several options. First, you could simply set the Omega One wider than your tires, and use its long travel to allow braking performance and easy tire removal. On the other hand, if you want to keep your pads closer to the rim AND still use a large tire, you can either use the set screw adjusters to gain clearance whenever you want to switch wheels, or leave the brake as is, and simply deflate the tire when changing wheels.
