Sram Rival Aero Rear Bremsegreb inkl. Bremsekaliber

The SRAM Rival Aero E1 hydraulic brake system is designed to deliver top performance under the most demanding conditions in triathlon and time trials. One of the most prominent features of this specific rear brake system is the choice of materials, especially the use of carbon for the brake lever itself. Carbon is chosen because it is an incredibly lightweight material, which is essential for riders who want to minimize the weight of their bike setup as much as possible. In addition to the low weight, carbon is extremely stiff, ensuring that every movement of your fingers is transferred directly to the hydraulic system without energy loss or flex in the lever itself. The lever is also designed with a special textured surface, ensuring a firm and secure grip for the fingers, even when your hands are wet or sweaty during intense competition or in rainy weather. The brake caliper itself is constructed from an advanced combination of aluminum and titanium. This blend of metals provides the ideal balance of strength, durability, and efficient heat dissipation during long descents. By using titanium in critical components, weight is further reduced, while the robust aluminum construction ensures the caliper can withstand the immense pressure of the hydraulic fluid without deformation. This uncompromising focus on advanced materials means you get a brake system that is not only fast and aerodynamic but also incredibly reliable over long-term use.

Maintenance of advanced hydraulic brake systems can often be a technical challenge, but SRAM has implemented their innovative Bleeding Edge technology in the Rival Aero E1 model to make the service process as simple and fast as possible. This system is specifically developed to provide a more intuitive, secure, and significantly cleaner bleeding of the brake fluid. By using a dedicated and optimized bleed port in the caliper, the risk of introducing unwanted air into the system or spilling corrosive brake fluid during the process is minimized. This is especially important for rear brakes like this one, which comes with a very long hydraulic hose of 2000 mm, as long hose routings can traditionally be harder to bleed completely correctly to achieve a firm feel. The system is designed to be used in triathlon and time trials, where the bike's aerodynamics often dictate that components are placed very compactly and sometimes in hard-to-reach places. Thanks to the Flat Mount standard, the caliper integrates seamlessly with modern frames, providing a very clean visual profile and reducing wind resistance. Although the system comes pre-assembled as a complete hydraulic set, ongoing maintenance is facilitated by the precise mechanical tolerances in the aluminum and titanium construction, ensuring that seals and pistons always work smoothly. Regular service with Bleeding Edge tools ensures that you always have a firm and completely predictable braking feel, regardless of how many kilometers you cover in training or competition.

Ergonomics are crucial for the rider's overall comfort and safety, especially when in a fixed aerodynamic position for long periods at a time. The SRAM Rival Aero rear brake lever is equipped with advanced Reach Adjust technology, allowing the rider to manually fine-tune the distance between the brake lever and the handlebar. This feature is invaluable in practice, as it enables individuals with both large and small hands to find the perfect ergonomic position, where fingers rest naturally and effortlessly on the carbon lever. By precisely adjusting the reach, you can ensure immediate access to full braking power without unnecessarily stretching your fingers, which significantly reduces muscle fatigue in the forearms during long and technically demanding races. This is particularly relevant for triathletes, who often switch positions between the aero bars and the handlebar itself. The lever itself is specifically shaped to fit into aerodynamic setups, and the textured surface of the carbon material significantly improves feedback and control for the rider. As this system is configured specifically for the rear wheel and uses Flat Mount mounting, it fits most modern road bikes. Note that the kit is supplied as a complete set with lever, hose, and caliper, but without rotor and mounting brackets, giving you the freedom to choose the exact brake disc size that suits your weight and terrain. By combining precise hydraulic modulation with this personalized adjustment, the rider achieves a degree of safety and control that is absolutely necessary for riding at high speed in technical corners.
