SRAM Level Mountain Bike Disc Brake and RotorSRAM's Level MTB Disc Brake + Rotor may fall into the more budget range of brakes, but it still manages to pack a punch, as it features most of the same technologies as their higher end Downhill/Enduro "Guide" brakes. Ideal for Cross-Country and trail use, it benefits from technology such as an expandable bladder and TPC Plus. Features: Body Material: Aluminium Lever Material: Aluminium - Stamped Caliper Design: 2-piston monoblock caliper Recommended Rotor type: 1-piece G2 CleanSweep Pad: Steel-backed organic Fluid: DOT 5.1 Mount: Ambidextrous Adjustment: Tool-free Reach Adjust, Contact Point Adjust, Banjo Adjust Special Features: Contact Point Adjust, Piggyback Reservoir, DOT 5.1 fluid Technology Highlight(s): TPC Plus, DirectLink Pad/Holder: Top-loading Intended Use: XC/Trail Tri-Align Caliper Positioning System: No Tool-Free Pad Replacement: Yes Stainless Hardware: Yes Weight: 430gTechnologies:DirectLinkSRAM'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.PiggyBack Reservoir:The brake fluid reservoir on SRAM’s latest lever design is optimised for both performance and ease of use. The PiggyBack Reservoir offers a simple, failsafe way to manage brake fluid, and also allows for ambidextrous lever placement-so you can switch your levers on the handlebar and run them moto style without hassle.Expandable Bladder SRAM’s new 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. TPC Plus (Timing Port Closure):A hydraulic brake’s timing port is the connection between the reservoir and the master cylinder bore. When the lever is squeezed, a cup seal passes this area and closes the port to pressurise the system. SRAM’s new timing port closure system, called TPC Plus, features durable seals and an ultra-smooth cylinder bore finish producing dependable braking power and consistency.DOT 5.1Heat is an enemy of any brake system, so advancements in heat management mean advancements in your ride. SRAM found that DOT 5.1 takes almost three times longer to boil than DOT 4, thus allowing flawless, fade-free performance in even more extreme conditions.Buy SRAM Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
Whether you're spending the day on your favourite local trail routes or enjoying a weekend-long epic mountain adventure, this hydraulic disc brake is engineered for smooth and consistent braking performance. It features a high-quality aluminium lever, which provides optimum comfort and performance as you apply pressure. Shimano has also kitted out this trail-ready model with an adjustable lever reach, which allows you to easily fine-tune the gap between the lever blade and your handlebar. As a result, you'll benefit from a more rider-tuned braking feel that can be set up to match your riding style for perfect custom fit.

The consistent stopping power provided by Shimano’s latest 105 BR-R7170 hydraulic disc-brake calliper makes bike riding that much more enjoyable; regardless of whether you’re descending mountain tops in the wet or racing your friends in the dry, you’ll get the stopping power you’d expect. The 105 hydraulic disc calliper represents the most cost effective way to experience the excellent stopping power offered by Shimano’s performance-oriented disc-brake systems. Although slightly heavier than Shimano’s top-tier models, it offers similar levels of performance to them. So, if you want premium-level performance, at a more reasonable price point, these callipers are certainly worth consideration. Better Braking All The Time: It’s no secret that more and more bike makers are prioritising disc-brake bikes and that an ever increasing number of riders are experiencing the performance benefits of disc brakes. It’s no surprise why, the benefits of disc brakes are numerous: consistent stopping power in the wet or dry; no risk of over-heating and damaging expensive carbon rims on long descents; better brake modulation; and it enables manufactures to make wider wheels, that accommodate larger tyres. Braking Excellence: In the updated BR-R7170 calliper, Shimano have improved the heat dissipation and overall braking control. Whether you’re descending an alpine mountain in the blistering sun or making a sudden stop in the rain, you can rest assured your brakes will work all the same. Further improvements have been made by the Japanese component makers. Pad clearance has been increase by 10%, which will reduce the noise that can occur with disc brakes. Attention has also been paid to the maintenance and bleeding process, which have been improved to make home maintenance a simpler process. A convenient one-way bleeding system, combined with an easy hose joint system, makes for simple installation and adjustment.
