Sram Force 22 Hydraulic Brake and Gear System

The hydraulic shift-brake system from the Sram Force 22 series offers loss-free braking power transmission in combination with the ergonomic Sram Doubletap shift lever.

Post Mount Standard:

The Post Mount caliper standard, originally developed for MTB brakes, is also found on older road bikes and gravel bikes. The road calipers are approved for brake discs up to 160 mm. The bolt hole spacing is 74 mm and the caliper is usually fitted without an adapter. There is a Post Mount 6 version of the frame/fork mount. Only a 160 mm disc can be fitted there, whilst the Post Mount 5 version allows for a 140 mm disc, or a 160 mm disc with an adapter.

Sram Force 22 hydraulic Ergodynamic shift levers

The Sram Force 22 ErgoDynamic brake and shift levers feature a redesigned hydraulic master cylinder with a smaller, more ergonomic housing. The ErgoDynamic design offers first-class control and comfort, with a new reach adjustment suitable for all hand sizes, plus DoubleTap and ZeroLos for smooth and precise shifting.The individual Reach Adjus grip width adjustment for brake and shift levers is now even easier to access using a standard Allen key. The new clamp allows for a better fit and adjustment for modern carbon and ergonomic handlebars.

Sram Zero Loss:

The shift travel makes all the difference: conventional shifters require a specific shift travel angle to trigger the shift pawl – a crucial loss of time in a race, even before the actual shifting process begins. The Sram Force road bike lever with zero degrees of lost shift travel means the shift cables move without the slightest delay as soon as the lever is pressed!

Sram Force 22 Hydraulic disc brake

The disc brakes from the Force 22 series are designed for brake rotors up to 160 mm in size. The hydraulic SRAM Force 22 disc brake offers superior braking performance with minimal operating forces and precise modulation. The loss of power and friction caused by cable transmission in classic cable-operated brakes is eliminated with this system. Braking performance remains consistent in all weather conditions. Thanks to the separation of the rim/tyre and the braking surface, issues with heat build-up are elegantly resolved.
