Coming equipped with a lightweight aluminium lever blade, this model achieves a superior strength to weight ratio that allows you to benefit from its fantastic durability and strength without adding any unnecessary excess grams to your bike. SRAM has also kitted it out with pivot bearings, so you can enjoy a crisp lever feel as well as a fatigue-free riding experience. Coming complete with industry-leading technologies such as Bleeding Edge, Direct Link, Expandable Bladder and Timing Port Closure, this is a dependable choice of upgrade for powerful and precise braking. Features: Blade Material: Aluminium Pad Material: Steel-backed Organic Use: Mountain Bike (MTB) Brake Type: Hydraulic Disc Brake Mount Type: Direct Mount Bearings: Pivot Bearings Single or Pair: Single Weight: 430gTechnologies: Heat Shield: The stainless steel heat shields breaks the thermal connection between the pad and caliper body, reducing caliper fluid temperature by about 20C even in the most extreme testing conditions. Bleeding Edge: Bleeding Edge technology makes bleeding brakes quick and simple. An updated fluid path and bleed porting make it easier to push fluid through the caliper. A dedicated bleed adapter plugs into the bleed port and seals the system to minimise air contamination and fluid loss. Direct Link: SRAM’s DirectLink lever design produces a solid, positive feel the second you squeeze the lever to engage the brake It offers a no-nonsense solution to give you precise control. Lever Pivot Bearings: Precision sealed bearings at the lever pivot enhance the clean, crisp lever actuation and consistent, light, one-finger feel. Expandable Bladder: SRAM’s brake lever design includes a reshaped bladder that helps regulate and reduce air bubbles. The bladder is specifically shaped to evacuate air from the lever and push the fluid exactly where it’s needed. The result is improved back-pressure relief, which produces dependable braking power and consistency. Timing Port Closure: A hydraulic brake’s timing port is the connection between the reservoir and the lever cylinder bore. When the lever is squeezed, a cup seal passes this area and closes the port, which pressurizes the system. SRAM’s timing port closure system features durable seals and an ultra-smooth cylinder bore finish producing reliable braking performance.Buy SRAM Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
