Description
The SRAM Rival eTap AXS D1 HRD disc brake caliper is a component designed for precise and responsive braking performance on road and gravel bikes. This caliper is compatible with both front and rear wheel setups and is designed for flat mount installation. Flat mount is a sleek, integrated mounting system that is flush with the frame or fork of the bike, providing a clean and aerodynamic profile.
The caliper comes with steel-backed organic brake pads. Organic, also known as resin, pads typically offer quieter operation and better initial bite compared to metallic pads and are ideal for riders looking for smooth and progressive braking feel. However, they may wear more quickly than metal pads and are less effective in wet and muddy conditions.
This caliper is designed to operate with a hydraulic system, requiring DOT fluid, which is known for its high boiling point and consistent performance under varying temperatures and riding conditions.
