SRAM Code R Disc Brake Brakes

Designed specifically for heavy-duty demands, the SRAM Code R pairs SRAM’s DirectLink lever to an oversized four-piston caliper.

The DirectLink lever features tool-free reach adjustment allowing you to easily dial in your lever reach. The four-piston caliper features oversized brake pistons, which measure 15 and 16 mm in diameter and Bleeding Edge, which results in easier, more consistent brake bleeds. The SRAM Code R demonstrates a terrific balance of reliability, practicality, and outright power.

Who is this item for: DH, Enduro, All Mountain, aggressive trail and heavier riders that require big stopping power.

How many pistons: Four- measuring 15 and 16mm in diameter.

Material: Primarily alloy construction with some steel hardware.

Adjustment: The DirectLink levers feature tool-free reach adjustment.

Brake Type/Fluid: Hydraulic, they use Dot 5.1 fluid.

Which Pads: The brakes come factory with metallic pads for more power and longer wear life. You can run organic pads if you would like.

Mount: MatchMaker. This system will hold a number of SRAM trigger shifters, and RockShox controls as well.

Hose Length:

• Front – 950mm
• Rear – 1800mm

Pros: Big power on a budget. MatchMaker compatible helps keep your bars clutter-free. The brake lever is ambidextrous so they can be run right-rear, left-front easily if they need to be.

Cons: If you own an older AVID/SRAM bleed kit it won’t work with the new Bleeding Edge bleed system. You can buy a Bleeding Edge adaptor for your existing AVID/SRAM syringes.
