History of Southcott Pty. Ltd.

Southcott Pty Limited was founded in Adelaide, South Australia in 1886 as a general engineering business by two brothers, James and Albert Southcott. Over a century later, the company remains entirely owned by the Southcott family and has expanded extensively around the original factory site, as well as operating Australia wide sales offices and service centres in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Newcastle, Devonport, Emerald and Perth.

Involvement in hydraulics began in 1954 with the design and development of axial piston pumps and motors. The Company remains the only Australian manufacturer of these complex units. State of the art facilities are now provided for hydraulic equipment manufacture, including complex manifold circuits and a wide range of hose coupling swaging machines up to 500 tonne capacity.

Southcott Cycle Division ceased the production of bicycles in the mid nineties due to economic climax and turned their focus on marketing and selling state of the art international brands. Southcott Cycle division now operates from two main distribution warehouses, Adelaide and Melbourne, supplying bicycles and parts and accessories to the independent bicycle shops across Australia.

Announcing Feather Brakes are now available in Australia

KRJ International Pty Ltd as exclusive importers for Australia and New Zealand are pleased to announce the introduction of Feather Brakes into the Australian market.

Feather Brakes are a relative newcomer to the bicycle brake industry, but they enter with a solid bloodline of ground breaking engineering and quality. The developers/engineers at Feather Brakes who have a long history in the Powerboat, Indy Racing, Motocross and Downhill Mountain Biking fields didn’t get into brakes for the aesthetics aiming instead to design and build a product that would provide improved stopping power as compared to any other aftermarket brakes currently available.

These are the latest technology lightweight performance brakes on the market featuring a unique single/dual pivot action utilising a patented Roller Cantilever Arm design to provide optimum stopping power without any additional weight.

A pair of Feather Brakes hit the scales at 199 grams per pair including titanium hardware and a choice of colour accents is also available to round out the package.

This equates to being 73 grams lighter than SRAM Red, 95 grams lighter than Shimano Dura-Ace 7900 and 76 grams lighter than Campagnolo Super Record making them the lightest brakes on the market.

Feather Brakes are CNC machined from special aerospace grade aluminium then Type 2 Class 2 hard anodised. They use only roller bearings in their construction and not brass bushings like many of the other high end products on the market thus providing a smooth and firm action eliminating wear and extra cost needed to replace these in due course.
