SRAM G2 RS Disc Brake

All set for hitting your local mountain bike (MTB) trails, this hydraulic disc brake is equipped with a robust aluminium lever body and a forged aluminium caliper, which makes it ready for the most demanding of trail adventures. Another highlight is its tool-less adjustable lever reach that allows you to easily set it up to match your hand size or riding style. This makes it comfortable to pull as you dive into corners and drops at speed, while also keeping your momentum flowing. Coming complete with SRAM’s Bleeding Edge technology, this model also allows for simple DOT 4 fluid installation and maintenance when required.

Hydraulic Disc Brake with SwingLink Technology

We spend a lot of time obsessing over feeling, and SwingLink technology brings SRAM’s best research and development to life. The G2 RS offers riders the joys of SwingLink — getting brake pads to the rotor fast, then moderating pressure with smooth modulation. It’s one small movement for your finger, one monumental upgrade to your braking.

Power Reserve Geometry

Your fingers pull in a straight line, but brake levers move in an arc. Bottom line: Your fingers typically want to slip off the ends of the levers as you pull. SRAM designed all of its brakes with the industry’s lowest X Factor (that’s the distance from the centre of the handlebar to the centre of the lever’s pivot). That reduces the lever’s inward travel, creating an arc that’s closer to your fingers’ natural motion and more power is delivered to the brake lever. And, the cool part is, every SRAM and Avid brake lever has it.

Bleeding Edge

With this new caliper fluid circuitry, the bleed port has been moved to the bottom of the caliper, and all four piston bores can communicate. This way, during bleeding fluid naturally fills the caliper, resulting in an easier, more consistent bleed.

S4 Light-Weight 4-Piston Caliper

The all new S4 Caliper features four Machined and Moly-coated aluminium pistons for consistent rollback and easy set-up, Heat shield insulation and Bleeding Edge porting and adapter technology for easy bleeds.

SwingLink

Squeeze a SRAM brake lever and you notice it immediately. Less deadband. More positive engagement. A new cam system requires less lever throw to push the pads toward the rotor. That’s great, but there’s more to perfect braking performance than just power. You need control. Many brake systems minimize deadband—but at the cost of modulation. SwingLink solves that with its special cam shape. When the pads contact the rotor, the leverage rate curve is flat and smooth, avoiding that “on/off” brake feel. It’s the perfect balance of power and precision.
