Elevate your road cycling experience with the legendary performance of the SRAM Disc BB7 Road SL mechanical disc brake caliper. Revered by cyclists worldwide, the BB7 Road SL represents the pinnacle of mechanical disc brake technology, offering a premium upgrade for any road, cyclocross, or gravel bike. This Super Light (SL) version takes the proven power and reliability of the standard BB7 and refines it into a lighter, sleeker package finished in a striking Falcon Grey.

Experience the ultimate in braking control and confidence. The primary benefit of this advanced Disc Brake system is its consistent, powerful stopping ability in all weather conditions, from dry, dusty roads to wet and muddy cyclocross courses. Unlike traditional rim brakes, the BB7 Road SL provides fade-free performance on long descents, giving you the peace of mind to push your limits. The modulation is smooth and predictable, allowing for subtle speed adjustments and full-power stops with equal ease.

One of the most celebrated features is the incredible ease of adjustment. The dual-knob pad adjustment system allows for completely tool-free, independent positioning of both the inboard and outboard brake pads. This enables you to dial in the perfect lever feel and eliminate frustrating rotor rub with the precision of tweezers, ensuring your wheels spin freely and silently until the moment you need to slow down. This on-the-fly adjustability is a game-changer for riders who demand perfection and want to compensate for pad wear without reaching for a single tool.

Engineered specifically for Road Cycling, the BB7 Road SL is designed to work seamlessly with the short cable pull of drop-bar brake levers from SRAM, Shimano, and Campagnolo. The core of the caliper features a smooth ball bearing actuation mechanism, which translates your lever input into powerful and fluid braking force with minimal friction or lag. This ensures a crisp, responsive feel at the lever that rivals many hydraulic systems, but with the simplicity and field-serviceability that only a mechanical system can offer.

Installation and alignment are made simple thanks to SRAM´s innovative Tri-Align™ Caliper Positioning System™ (CPS). This system uses stacked concave and convex washers, allowing for a huge range of lateral adjustment to perfectly center the caliper over the rotor, guaranteeing a drag-free setup every time.
