Just ahead of the first World Cup downhill race in Lourdes this weekend, SRAM has released their new Code brakes to the public. Details inside.

Meet The New CODE
Braking has many different meanings, but for Code it means being fast enough to win a downhill World Championship, or tackle the biggest alpine descents. Or shred a piece of singletrack uphill thanks to the new possibilities offered by E-MTBs. Code is the means to slow down for all those riders that like to ride harder, faster and with more intensity. It uses proven SRAM Guide design and technologies with a larger PiggyBack™ reservoir and 4mm bigger diameter pistons in the caliper to provide consistent and reliable power for all heavy duty applications. Bleeding Edge™ technology keeps maintenance as easy as it can be.

CODE RSC

Code RSC is built from the elements that made Guide a benchmark in contemporary brake design and performance, and delivers an extra 15% power to shine in all heavy-duty applications. SwingLink™ and Lever Pivot Bearings ensure a smooth and progressive feel at the lever, while the additional 30% positive fluid volume ensures consistent performance even when braking harder, more frequently or with a heavier mass to slow down.

FEATURES
– Larger fluid volume for consistency.
– Powerful four-piston caliper with 15 and 16mm diameter phenolic plastic pistons
– Full featured: SwingLink™, Contact Point Adjust, Lever Pivot Bearing
– Proven Guide technologies optimized for heavy duty applications
– Bleeding Edge™ provides easiest bleed process

MSRP PRICE: $244 | €270 | £229
