Product Information

Full details

The Sram Level Silver 4-Piston Stealth disc brake is designed for trail riders who demand reliable, high-performance stopping power without the bulk of traditional gravity-focused brakes. By pairing a potent 4-piston caliper with a refined, stealthy lever design, it offers exceptional trail control at an impressive XC weight class; however, users should note that the kit arrives without rotors, requiring a separate purchase to complete the installation.

FAQs

Does this kit include a rotor?

No, the kit includes the lever, caliper, and hose, but rotors must be purchased separately.

Can I use these with AXS components?

Yes, the stealth lever profile is specifically designed to integrate cleanly with modern cockpits and wireless AXS setups.

Is the hose length adjustable?

Yes, the hose can be trimmed to fit your specific frame size, but you will need to re-bleed the system after cutting.

What is the benefit of the 4-piston design over 2-piston?

The 4-piston design provides more surface area for pad-to-rotor contact, resulting in better heat management and increased raw stopping power.

Do I need special tools for adjustment?

The reach adjustment is tool-free, but you will need standard shop tools (hex keys and a torque wrench) for installation and a bleed kit for maintenance.

Are these suitable for enduro riding?

While capable, these are categorized as trail/XC performance brakes. For heavy-duty enduro or downhill, Sram's Code series may be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Spongy brake feel

The system likely has air trapped in the lines; perform a standard Sram hydraulic brake bleed procedure.

Brake pads rubbing on the rotor

Loosen the caliper mounting bolts, squeeze the brake lever firmly, and re-tighten the bolts while holding the lever down to auto-center the caliper.

Brakes squealing during use

Clean the rotor with isopropyl alcohol and sand the brake pads lightly to remove any glazed surface buildup.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent power-to-weight ratio for trail applications
  • Streamlined stealth design reduces cable clutter
  • Smooth, fatigue-reducing lever action via pivot bearings
  • Tool-free adjustment for on-the-fly ergonomics
  • Compatible with modern, clean cockpit layouts including AXS

Cons

  • Rotors are not included in the kit
  • 4-piston calipers may be overkill for pure, light XC racing
  • Bleeding hydraulic systems requires specific Sram-compatible tools

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge of hydraulic disc brake systems. Ensure you have the correct hydraulic mineral oil or DOT fluid as specified by Sram.

  1. Mounting: Secure the caliper to the frame or fork mounts using appropriate adapters if necessary.
  2. Hose Routing: Utilize the stealth design to route the housing cleanly against the handlebar.
  3. Alignment: Ensure the caliper is centered over your preferred rotor size to avoid rubbing.
  4. Bleeding: The system must be bled using a Sram hydraulic brake bleed kit to remove air bubbles after shortening the hose to the desired length.
  5. Care: Clean the rotor and pads with isopropyl alcohol if you notice any contamination. Inspect the brake pads regularly for wear, and replace them once the friction material is reduced to less than 1mm.
