Tune your ride with tool-free Reach, SwingLink, and Contact Point Adjustments for a custom feel. The robust 4-piston caliper and heat-dissipating Phenoplast pistons ensure consistent performance, while MatchMaker X compatibility streamlines your cockpit. Conquer any trail with championship-winning braking.

Unleash Authoritative Control and Unwavering Consistency

The SRAM Code RSC is the definitive braking solution for the most demanding MTB Cycling disciplines. Born from a legacy of gravity-focused excellence, this hydraulic disc brake provides the raw power needed to tame the steepest, most technical terrain with absolute confidence. Its design DNA is borrowed directly from the brakes used by world champions, ensuring that every pull of the lever delivers authoritative and predictable performance. The heart of the Code RSC is its oversized 4-piston caliper, which provides a massive contact area with the rotor for incredible stopping force. This power is perfectly balanced with exceptional modulation thanks to SRAM´s innovative SwingLink™ technology, which reduces deadband and gives you a progressive feel for feathering the brakes with surgical precision right up to the point of full lock.

Personalized Performance at Your Fingertips

What sets the RSC model apart is its unparalleled level of on-the-fly adjustability, allowing you to create a truly personalized braking experience without reaching for a single tool. The tool-free Reach Adjust lets you dial in the distance from your handlebar to the lever, accommodating any hand size for optimal ergonomics and comfort. Furthermore, the game-changing Contact Point Adjust allows you to precisely determine the point in the lever´s throw where the pads engage the rotor. Whether you prefer an immediate, aggressive bite or a more modulated, deeper feel, the Code RSC adapts to your unique riding style. This level of customization ensures you have the perfect setup for every trail, every condition, and every ride. As part of a complete system, these brakes form the core of high-performance brake sets for the serious gravity rider.

Engineered for the Demands of Gravity

Every component of the SRAM Code RSC is built to withstand the punishing forces of modern trail, enduro, and downhill riding. The robust caliper design, featuring four phenolic plastic pistons, excels at managing heat on long, relentless descents, virtually eliminating brake fade and ensuring your power remains consistent from the top of the mountain to the bottom. For mechanics and home enthusiasts, maintenance is simplified with Bleeding Edge™ technology, which provides a dedicated port and fluid path for a faster, cleaner, and more straightforward bleeding process.

Key Features:

* SwingLink™ Technology: Delivers a progressive power curve for superior modulation and less deadband.
* Tool-Free Contact Point Adjust: Customize the exact point of pad engagement for a personalized lever feel.
* Tool-Free Reach Adjust: Easily set the lever position to perfectly fit your hands without tools.
* 4-Piston Dual-Diameter Caliper: Provides immense, consistent stopping power and excellent heat management.
