SRAM DoubleTap Shifting DoubleTap is the flagship technology that leads SRAM’s road groupset revolution. It is a simple yet elegant and advanced system that increases performance, comfort, and weight while featuring a revolutionary shift/brake lever design. It makes changing gears easier and faster, eliminating the cumbersome and awkward engagement associated with two-lever systems. DoubleTap handles up- and downshifts in one short, sweeping motion, with minimal effort and maximum comfort no matter where you are on the bars. Lever ErgoDynamics Lever ErgoDynamics consists of three separate design elements that significantly improve your riding experience. The brake lever is slightly longer than previous DoubleTap road controls and enhances the reach of the drops, increasing comfort and control while doing so. The independent reach-adjust features on the brake and shift levers are easier to access to quickly adjust for every hand size. Finally, the shape of the hoods has been completely redesigned with a smaller diameter and higher top shape to increase the rider’s control and improve finger wrap.
These superb brakes feature TPA technology for tool-less pad wear adjustment and are completed by EBT technology for super easy bleeding.

This fully bled lever and caliper comes without adaptors or rotors giving you the freedom to customise them to suit your ride. Additionally, they can be used with a centre-lock rotor system (sold separate) which fits easily to the centre-lock compatible hubs. Alternatively, standard 6-bolt rotors can be used. Its two-piece caliper is robust and durable for tackling all the challenges that come with a long day out on the trails. Finally, this is an ideal choice of a replacement for your old or worn-out existing model, for fast and precise off-road braking performance.

Technologies: SLR-EV: SLR-EV is SLR with a dual symmetric pivot brake caliper. The short-arm brake design employs two bearings and a roller to realize greater efficiency in the pivot area and deliver superior modulation and power for braking. Together with the BC-9000 brake cable, the latest calipers deliver 36% more braking power than SHIMANO’s previous brake model. And we offer 2 axle symmetric brake caliper and fork mount and chain stay mount type (BR-R9100/6810/5810). Dual Control Lever: DCL stands for DUAL CONTROL LEVER. It has brake and shifting functions in the system and enables easy operation. Ergonomic innovation is probably more critical to the higher standard performance than the added gearing. The shift internals borrow the robustness from our MTB technology and are so smooth and effortless that one finger shifts front and rear are possible. Indeed, shifting is the ultimate act of SHIMANO TOTAL INTEGRATION, and simply has to be experienced to be understood. E-Tube: The E-TUBE platform's “Plug & play” and D-FLY wireless connections make it easier than ever to check the system's status, and apply customized settings to DI2 and SHIMANO STEPS components with a PC, tablet or smart phone.

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 organic pads give riders both feel and bite. - Bleeding Edge for simple fluid installation and maintenance. - Tools-free reach adjust for quick personalisation. Additional Item Top Features: Pistons: 4 pistons Single or Pair: Single Reach Adjust: Tool-free reach adjust Caliper Bleed Port: Bleeding Edge Lever Pivot: Bushing Hydraulic Fluid: DOT 4 Weight: 490g Please Note: This brake is designed for use with a Matchmaker clamp (combined with a gear shifter) so does not come with its own bar clamp. These bar clamps are sold separately. Please click here if you wish to purchase this in addition to the brake. Technologies: SWINGLINK: Squeeze a SRAM brake lever and you notice it immediately. Less deadband. More positive pad engagement. 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, power is modulated, avoiding that “on/off” brake feel. It’s the perfect balance of power and precision. Reach Adjust: Brake lever fit and feel is a personal thing. Reach Adjust makes it easy to adjust your lever for maximum one-finger control for everyone, regardless of hand size.
