Discover the best components for your MTB at Escapa, such as the SRAM Code R Matte Black Brake, which, thanks to improved heat management, will make your ride much safer. We’ve found that with DOT 5.1, it takes three times longer to reach the boiling point than with DOT 4. This ensures smooth, unending braking even in the most extreme conditions. It also features an expandable reservoir, SwingLink, and premium brake pads.
Expandable Bladder
SRAM’s new brake lever design includes a new bubble shape that helps regulate and reduce air bubbles. The bladder is specially shaped to pump air out of the lever and deliver fluid exactly where it’s needed. The result is improved backpressure relief for reliable and consistent braking performance.
SwingLink
When you pull a new SRAM brake lever, you notice the difference immediately. A shorter free travel. Optimized brake pad performance. Thanks to the new Levo design, a shorter lever travel is required to push the brake pads against the brake rotor. This is good, but for perfect braking performance, it takes more than just power—it takes control. Many braking systems offer a shorter travel distance at the expense of modulation. SwingLink solves this problem with its special Levo shape. When the brake pads make contact with the brake rotor, the force is modulated, preventing that “stuck” braking sensation. This creates the perfect balance between power and precision.
Top-Tier Brake Pads
If fixing a wheel keeps you from getting back on the track as quickly as possible, every second counts. Thanks to our top-mounted disc brake pads, you don’t have to remove the wheel, work under the brake caliper, or contort your fingers—and you’re back in action much faster.
