SRAM RED Switch | Brake lever including hydraulic disc brake
Disc brakes offer numerous advantages, which is why they can hardly be removed in the MTB area. The advantages are not so concise for racing bikes, but are increasingly important thanks to ever more powerful material. The brake performance and dosing capability in all weather conditions surpasses rim brakes by far! In addition, the brake is separated from the often sensitive tires as a heat source. Especially in border situations this can bring the decisive advantage!
In addition, the braking surface on the rim is omitted from a disk brake system. This promises not only optical advantages, but also allows the rims to be feared without sacrificing stability. The reinforcement of the rim in the area of ??the brake flanks can be omitted!
The brake system works with DOT 5.1 brake fluid. This medium is strictly standardized and thus provides an extremely reliable function even at high temperatures caused by braking.
Over the years, various standards have been applied to the brakes. An overview can be found in our product images. Matching brake discs and adapters must be purchased separately!
