SRAM, for long a leader in hydraulic braking technology with Avid brand, has reset the vision for road bike braking for the coming decade. Not unlike every other high speed conveyance, SRAM brings hydraulic technology to road cycling for multiple applications. Disc or rim brake, SRAM will stop what you’ve propelled, faster and with better modulation.

Short introduction of SRAM company

Bike components are all they do - which is why they do them so mind-bendingly well. SRAM, LLC began with the goal of creating the absolute best shifting system and changed the cycling world forever with the introduction of Grip Shift. To support the innovation, they invested in Sachs Bicycle Company and built a state of the art manufacturing facility in Schweinfurt Germany. They had the vision and desire to expand their presence in the industry so they found the best suspension company, RockShox, joined forces with them, creating huge excitement in the global cycling community. Not content to stop there, they knew expanding their line with the best brakes, bottom brackets and cranksets would fine-tune the ride even more. So they teamed up with Avid and Truvativ. Now that they have achieved total drive train nirvana, they will continue to seek and deploy technological and engineering advancements, as we compulsively refine and redefine the pinnacle of the ultimate ride.

Presented alternatives for hydraulic brakes

SRAM Hydraulic Road Rim Brakes

Hydraulic Road Rim (HRR) brakes still face many challenges because they are relying on the same braking surface and friction materials (pads). SRAM can produce more braking force with less hand effort using hydraulics along with a sealed system that doesn’t suffer from cable drag if installed on a frame with tight radii.

SRAM HRR hydraulics improves modulation with lower hand forces that optimizes rider effort to braking power advantage.

SRAM Hydraulic Road Disc Brakes

Hydraulic Road Disc (HRD) can create more braking power and control by braking onto a steel rotor than we can achieve on any carbon or aluminium rim given the weight constraints of a wheel. No heat is transferred into the tire or tube improving safety. Wheel designs are free from the constraints of accommodating a braking surface.
