The Diatech Fiesta 996 is a forged alloy U-brake designed for BMX freestyle bikes with U-brake mounts. It features a low-profile design that provides clearance for smaller front sprockets (25T-28T) and includes all necessary hardware for front or rear installation. This brake offers an alternative to traditional 990-style brakes with improved chain clearance.
Key Features
- Low-profile design – Sits lower than standard 990-style brakes to prevent chain contact when running 25T or 28T front sprockets on modern frames
- Forged alloy construction – Provides strength and rigidity for consistent braking performance at 216 grams
- Spring cap tension adjustment – Allows fine-tuning of spring tension to control brake pad return speed and lever feel
- Complete hardware for front or rear – Includes all components needed for either position: caliper arms, brake pads, hanger, straddle cable, and mounting bolts
- Configuration-specific cable setups – AD996 (rear) includes straddle cable configuration; FS996 (front) includes barrel adjuster setup
