Product Information

Full details

The SRAM Code Silver Stealth Hydraulic Disc Brake is designed for aggressive mountain bikers and E-MTB riders who demand high-performance stopping power and a clean, clutter-free cockpit aesthetic. By rerouting hydraulic hoses closer to the handlebar, this brake system significantly improves cable management, making it an ideal upgrade for those running AXS wireless drivetrains. While it offers industry-leading modulation and power, potential users should note that rotors and mounting brackets must be purchased separately, requiring careful planning before installation.

FAQs

Does this brake come pre-bled?

Yes, the SRAM Code Silver Stealth comes pre-bled from the factory, ready for installation once the hose is routed.

Are the rotors and mounting brackets included?

No, this product only includes the lever, hose, and caliper. You must purchase the appropriate rotors and brackets separately.

Can I use these with organic brake pads?

Yes, while it ships with metallic pads for durability, you can swap to organic pads if you prefer a quieter, softer initial bite.

What type of hydraulic fluid does this system use?

This system uses DOT 5.1 or DOT 4 brake fluid.

Is this compatible with my AXS shifter?

Yes, the Stealth lever design is specifically optimized to integrate seamlessly with SRAM AXS cockpit components.

How often should I bleed the brakes?

It is recommended to bleed the brakes once a year, or sooner if you notice the lever feel is inconsistent or if you have recently disconnected the hose.

Troubleshooting

Brake lever feels spongy or hits the handlebar

The system likely contains air bubbles; perform a full hydraulic system bleed according to the service manual.

Brakes are making a squealing noise

Clean the rotor with isopropyl alcohol and check for glazed brake pads; you may need to lightly sand the pads or replace them if they are contaminated.

  • Higher price point compared to entry-level hydraulic models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This unit is a dedicated rear brake assembly. Before starting installation, ensure you have the correct size rotor and the appropriate mounting bracket compatible with your bike frame's post-mount standard.

  1. Secure the lever to the handlebar using the integrated clamp.
  2. Mount the caliper to the frame, ensuring the pads align correctly with the rotor track.
  3. Verify your hose length to ensure there is enough slack for a full range of handlebar motion.

For ongoing care, periodically clean the rotors with isopropyl alcohol to prevent noise. Inspect your metallic pads after every few muddy rides and replace them before the material reaches the minimum thickness recommended by the manufacturer. If the brake feel becomes 'mushy,' use a SRAM-approved bleed kit to purge air from the DOT fluid lines.
