SRAM G2 RS disc brake wheel diffusion black A2

The improved G2 RS brakes make you feel safe on the trail

SRAM has spent a lot of time tweaking the feel of their SwingLink ™ technology and bringing it up to date. The G2 RS offers the driver the advantages of the SwingLink, which brings the brake pads quickly and directly to the brake disc and then perfectly modulates the brake pressure. A small movement for your finger - an impressive upgrade for your brake.

Highlights

• Power Organic brake pads for a crisp "bite"
• BLEEDING EDGE ™ ensures a perfect connection with the syringe, prevents fluid loss and saves time
• Tool-free reach adjustment for quick adjustment

Technologies used

In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses for this product.

Bleeding Edge ™

In this new brake fluid circuit, the vent opening has been moved to the underside of the brake calliper and all four piston bores can access it. During the bleeding process, the brake caliper is naturally filled with fluid, which enables easier and more even bleeding.

Timing port closure

The synchronization port of a hydraulic brake is the connection between the reservoir and the master cylinder bore. When the lever is pulled, a cup seal passes this area and closes the opening, thereby pressurizing the system. SRAM's new TPC Plus system for closing the synchronization opening has tough seals and an ultra-soft cylinder bore surface for reliable and constant braking performance.

Power Reserve Geometry ™

Basically, a brake lever just amplifies the force generated by your hand (just like a nutcracker). Avid's Power Reserve Geometry ™ offers a way to combine great leverage with great comfort for your hands. This philosophy is fundamentally different from that of other brake manufacturers. With other brake levers, due to the location of the pivot point and the laws of physics, your fingers tend to slide off the ends of the levers as you pull. Avid brakes are different. With SRAM's brake levers, the pivot point of the handle is closer to the handlebar - closer than any other brake on the market. The resulting lever movement does not go so much inwards and an arc is created that corresponds more closely to the natural movement of your fingers. This means that more power is transferred to the brake. And the great thing is, every Avid lever has this feature.

Reach Adjust

The fit and ergonomics of the brake lever is a very personal matter. The drivers have individual position preferences as well as unique hand sizes and finger lengths. With the reach adjustment, the lever can be easily adjusted - for maximum control with just one finger.

S4 Light-Weight 4-Piston Caliber

The brand new brake caliper S4 has four machined and molybdenum coated pistons made of aluminum for constant opening and easy set-up, thermal protection as well as a bleeding edge opening and adapter technology for easy ventilation.

SwingLink ™

When you pull on a new SRAM brake lever, you'll notice the difference immediately. A shorter idle path. An optimized actuation of the brake pads. The new cam design means that a shorter lever path is required to push the brake pads towards the brake disc. That's nice, but there's more to perfect braking than just strength. They need control. Many brake systems offer a shorter idle travel - but at the expense of modulation. SwingLink solves this problem with its special cam shape. When the brake pads touch the brake disc, the force is modulated, thus avoiding the “sluggish” braking feeling. This creates the perfect balance between power and precision.
