Description
The SRAM Code Ultimate Stealth C1 disc brake caliper continues the legacy of the well-established Code series, renowned for its reliable and substantial braking power suitable for a variety of riding conditions. With the discontinuation of the G2 brake, SRAM has streamlined its offerings to focus on the 4-piston Level system, which provides a solid balance of power and control.
This caliper assembly is designed for both front and rear use and adheres to the post mount standard, which involves direct attachment to the frame or fork's posts for a secure and straightforward setup. It features a 4-piston design that ensures robust stopping force, which is essential for aggressive riding styles, including downhill and enduro.
SRAM is looking ahead with the design of these brakes, aligning them parallel to the handlebars, a move that anticipates the industry's shift toward internally routed cables through the headset. This approach aims to offer a sleeker profile, reduced noise, and less maintenance.
The Code Ultimate Stealth C1 is part of SRAM's push towards seamless integration in bike components, as seen with their wireless Transmission drivetrain, indicating a possible future where brake cables could also be integrated into the handlebar for a completely cable-free setup.
The caliper uses DOT fluid for its hydraulic system, chosen for its consistent and high-performance characteristics under varying conditions. The included brake pads are designed to match the caliper's high-end performance, though specifics such as pad compound are not mentioned in the provided information.
