Dia-Compe is a heritage Japanese brand with roots dating back to 1930, known for producing high-quality braking systems, headsets, and classic bike components.
Originally a leader in caliper and cantilever brakes, Dia-Compe has maintained its relevance by supporting vintage, touring, and custom bike builds with reliable, retro-inspired parts. The brand's precision-machined components and polished finishes are favored by restorers and enthusiasts looking for authenticity and performance. We recommend Dia-Compe for those building or maintaining classic bikes, as well as commuters and tourers seeking functional, time-tested gear. The product lineup includes brake levers, calipers, headsets, shifters, and accessories—many of which remain compatible with older standards. Dia-Compe delivers trusted quality with a nod to cycling's golden age.
