Description
The SRAM Rival 22 HRD B1 disc brake caliper is a component of SRAM's Rival 22 hydraulic road disc brake system. This assembly includes an 18mm post-mount caliper designed for both front and rear applications, providing versatility and convenience for a variety of road bike setups.
The caliper comes with steel-backed organic pads, known for their effective stopping power and quieter braking experience compared to metallic pads. Organic pads typically offer a more immediate bite and are favored for their modulation, which is particularly useful in road cycling where nuanced control is often required.
This hydraulic caliper uses DOT fluid, which is standard in automotive braking systems and chosen for its high boiling point and reliable performance under different conditions, including wet and high-heat environments.
