SRAM G2 RSC Disc Brake

SRAM G2 RSC Disc Brake

Featuring a tough aluminium lever blade, this mountain bike (MTB) hydraulic disc brake provides durable and dependable braking operation as you hit your favourite trails. SRAM has also equipped it with a lightweight four-piston S4 caliper that uses four machined and moly-coated aluminium pistons to achieve consistent rollback and easy setup. In addition, its calipers heat shield insulation, Bleeding Edge porting and adaptor technology delivers easier bleeds. Coming kitted out with steel-backed organic brake pads, this model offers powerful braking modulation and control as you navigate your way around the mountain.

Adjustable MTB Hydraulic Disc Brake

G2 RSC is the half-ton pickup truck of the mountain bike brake world — dependable, go anywhere, do anything, plenty of power when you need it, and all of the features you need. The G2 RSC is based on the SRAM Code design, so it puts Code-like power and modulation into a mini-Code package. And of course, the signature Guide lever-feel and contact-point adjustability ensure that this brake works great for every rider. The G2 RSC presents a rider-controlled offering with an alloy blade, lever pivot bushings, stainless steel hardware.

– Useful reach and contact point adjustments for every type of rider. SRAM design its brakes to give each individual rider distinct control of their ride.

– Added stiffness in the caliper and a new pad compound that offers more bite and really delivers the Mini-Code feel.

– Engineered for easy installation.

Technologies:

• Contact Point Adjustment: Some people like the instantaneous power of a short lever throw. Others prefer the feel of a longer throw. With Contact Point Adjust, you can pick the position you want your fingers to be in when your brakes are engaged. It’s a quick and easy way to customize the feel of your brakes without having to move the pads. It’s also a way to balance both brake levers to feel exactly the same.
• 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. We designed all of our brakes with the industry’s lowest X Factor (that’s the distance from the center of the handlebar to the center 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.
• S4 Lightweight 4-Piston Caliper: The all new S4 Caliper features four Machined and Moly-coated aluminum 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.
• Timing Port Closure: A hydraulic brake’s timing port is the connection between the reservoir and the lever cylinder bore. When the lever is squeezed, a cup seal passes this area and closes the port, which pressurizes the system. SRAM’s timing port closure system features durable seals and an ultra-smooth cylinder bore finish producing dependable braking power and consistency.
