FRONT + REAR — PAIRED

CUT THE CORD.
FULL STOP.

AirLock is the world's first fully proportional wireless braking system for mountain bikes. No hoses. No housing. No hydraulic fluid. Between your lever and your caliper there is now nothing but air.

LEVER CALIPER AIR GAP — 100% AIR

WHY WIRELESS?

Everything you hate about brakes. Gone.

Never bleed again

Zero fluid. Zero syringes. Zero mess. AirLock lines contain nothing at all, and nothing never needs maintenance.1

The lightest lever feel in cycling

Patented FeatherTouch™ technology: no cable drag, no seal friction, no fatigue. The lever is connected to nothing — and neither are your brakes.

5 ms lever-to-caliper response2

Your intent to stop is transmitted at the speed of light, then processed shortly afterward.

Over-the-air updates

You're always connected and up to date. Rest assured the AirLock team has unfettered access to your brakes.

PairLock™ anti-crosstalk

Every lever is cryptographically bonded to its caliper. You will almost never brake someone else's bike.

Anti-theft technology

Your brakes answer only to your AirLock ID — steal the bike, and the stopping stays behind. They're locked out. You're locked in.

THE HARDWARE

Engineered like nothing else.

Every AirLock is hand-assembled and tested on an actual bicycle. What you see below is production hardware, photographed without retouching. We have nothing to hide.

The complete AirLock bike, with no brake cables

THIS IS AIRLOCK.

Bare handlebars with no levers or cables

NOTHING TO SEE HERE.

COMMAND, FROM THE COCKPIT.

The AirLock lever

CONNECTED BY AIR.

Two moving parts. Nothing in between.

Force delivery at the caliper

FORCE, DELIVERED.

From radio wave to rotor in 5 milliseconds.

Beautifully engineered. Everywhere you look.

Every AirLock is hand-wired, hand-crimped, and hand-finished before it ever meets a trail.

THE COMPETITION

Others have tried.

We respect the pioneers.

GMBN's Blake Samson built a fully cableless bike years before us — a heroic system with two brake settings: off, and all of it, immediately. AirLock honors that sacrifice with proportional control.

Billing, built in

Top up braking, switch plans, and review per-stop charges without leaving the saddle. Your card stays on file for your convenience.

An AirLock ID for every rider

Braking is tied to your account, not your bike. Sign in on any AirLock-equipped bicycle — sessions expire every 14 days for your security.

Braking analytics

Every stop is recorded, scored, and compared with riders near you. Your braking style helps our partners serve more responsive offers.

Timely notifications

Balance alerts, firmware reminders, renewal windows, and occasional messages from brands like AirLock.

AIR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION.

COMING SPRING 2027 — FOUNDERS EDITION LIMITED TO RIDERS WE CAN REACH

RESERVE YOUR STOP

1 Bleeding eliminated for the brake system. Results for the rider may vary.

2 Typical performance, line-of-sight, both endpoints awake, fewer than 12 other riders present. Stopping distance may accrue while your request is processed. In the event of signal loss, AirLock enters Coast Assist™ automatically, preserving all of your momentum.

Hardware shown is production-representative. Cables shown are transitional.

Braking requires the AirLock app (312 MB), an AirLock ID, and an internet connection to verify your balance. In Airplane Mode, AirLock enters Coast Assist™. Unused braking does not roll over.

AirLock Standard supports braking Monday through Friday. Braking on weekends and holidays requires an active AirLock Max™ subscription. Firmware updates are mandatory and may begin mid-ride. Do not pair with brakes you do not own.

AIRLOCK, OTB, PAIRLOCK, FEATHERTOUCH, COAST ASSIST, AIRLOCK MAX, and PRIORITY STOP DELIVERY are fictitious trademarks, and this entire website is a joke. Braking is not guaranteed in all conditions, or at all. Always maintain a mechanical backup plan, such as shoes. AirLock proudly stands behind nothing but air.
