Sram launches the "Level" - an XC brake with DH technology

For modern cross-country use, Sram has come up with the new "Level" brake model. In this model, the same proven braking technology with which Loic Bruni became downhill world champion is packed into a new and lighter package. The lightest model weighs 318 grams. The brake comes in five versions.

Sram is presenting five models of the new "Level" brake type for the 2017 model year. This is a cross-country and trail brake whose lever design is based on that of the Guide. The Level therefore offers the same proven Sram brake technology that was used at the 2015 Downhill World Championships in a smaller, lighter package. It has the same mechanism for closing the synchronization opening, which ensures a solid and reliable braking effect. The stable and resistant seals also come from the Guide, as does the reservoir for the expandable bladder, which is designed to ensure reliable and constant braking force in every situation. Braking force and modulation are optimized by combining the DirectLink™ lever design with the massive 2-piston brake caliper. The reach adjustment has been concealed, giving the brake a tidy and clean look. Another new feature is the design with notches for adjusting the reach with a tool.

The "Level Ultimate", "Level TLM", "Level TM", "Level L" and "Level" models replace the "XX", "X0", "DB5", "Avid DB3" and "Avid DB1" brakes. With the Level series, Sram is not only catering to high-end customers. The new stoppers are also very affordable for smaller budgets, starting at just 69 euros. The prices in Swiss francs will follow.
