SRAM Force22 Road Disc Brake features

Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Brakes. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of SRAM Force22 Road Disc Brake.

The first thing is material. Looking at what SRAM Force22 Road Disc Brake is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Brakes. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Brakes. Brands like SRAM are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Brakes category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

The force 22 lever features a revised design to offer increased braking force with less rider effort.Fade-free BrakingAs these levers use high-quality DOT 5.1 brake fluid, you can head into the mountains with even more confidence and you’ll be able to take on those long descents without worrying about your brakes.Advanced ShiftingSome of SRAM’s best shifting technologies have been packed into the Force 22 lever, including Reach Adjust, DoubleTap, and ZeroLoss. This means that this lever offers you a personalised setup, minimal user effort and lightning quick shifts.Features:Material:¬†Carbon Fibre (lever) Forged Aluminum (disc caliper and shift lever) Stainless Steel (hardware) Optimised stopping power and modulation for road use 18mm pistons Road specific caliper and piston ratio Fully sealed system = no contamination Finish:¬†Ice grey anodised Mounting: Flat mount no offset Recommended Rotor:¬†Centerline (140 and 160mm, not included) Pad Type:¬†Steel-backed organic Fluid:¬†DOT 5.1 Compatibility:¬†SRAM RED 22, Force 22, and Rival 22 Speed: 11-Speed Shift Inner Cable Length: 2200mm Shift Outer Cable Length: 2050mm Hose Length: 1800mm Weight:¬†471g per wheel (lever, caliper, hose and 160mm centerline rotor)Technologies: DOT 5.1: Heat is an enemy of any brake system, so advancements in heat management mean advancements in your ride. SRAM found that in their brake systems, DOT 5.1 takes almost three times longer to boil than DOT 4, thus allowing flawless, fade-free performance in even more extreme conditions.

DoubleTap handles up and downshifts in one short, sweeping motion, with minimal effort and maximum comfort no matter where you are on the bars.

Riders have individual positioning preferences, as well as unique hand sizes and finger lengths. Reach Adjust makes it easy to adjust your lever for maximum one-finger control for everyone.
