Product Information

Full details

The SRAM Force22 11 Speed Shift/Brake Lever is designed for performance-focused road cyclists who demand precision, lightweight construction, and rapid gear transitions. By integrating advanced ergonomics and responsive shifting technology, this component significantly enhances control during technical rides and sprints. While it offers superior tactile feedback and customization, users should note that the DoubleTap system requires a short adjustment period if you are transitioning from traditional two-lever shifting architectures.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this lever work with hydraulic disc brakes?

No, this specific model (SLR080000) is intended for use with mechanical rim brakes only.

Can I use this with a 10-speed drivetrain?

No, this lever is specifically engineered for 11-speed indexing and will not function correctly with 10-speed derailleurs.

Is the hood texture replaceable?

Yes, the rubber hood covers can be removed and replaced if they wear down over time.

How do I perform an upshift versus a downshift?

With DoubleTap, a short push of the lever shifts in one direction, while a longer push (past the click) shifts in the other.

What tools do I need for installation?

A standard set of metric hex keys is sufficient for mounting and adjusting the lever reach.

Troubleshooting

Shifts feel sluggish or delayed

Check cable tension and ensure the housing is free of debris; apply a small amount of light lubricant to the cable path.

Lever blade feels loose

Check the mounting bolt inside the hood to ensure it is tightened to the recommended torque specifications.

Reach adjust dial is hard to turn

Clear any dirt from the adjustment screw and ensure the correct size hex key is fully inserted.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight design enhances steering responsiveness
  • Single-lever DoubleTap interface reduces hand fatigue
  • Highly customizable Reach Adjust fits various hand sizes
  • Immediate gear engagement with ZeroLoss technology
  • Textured hood provides excellent grip

Cons

  • DoubleTap interface has a learning curve for new users
  • Requires specific SRAM 11-speed drivetrain compatibility
  • Not compatible with hydraulic braking systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard cycling tools, specifically a hex key set for the clamping mechanism. Ensure the lever is positioned correctly on your carbon or ergo-style bars, taking advantage of the improved clamping system to prevent slipping.

Compatibility Note: This component is designed exclusively for SRAM 11-speed drivetrains and standard mechanical rim brakes. It is not compatible with hydraulic brake setups.

Care Instructions:

  • Periodically inspect the shifting cables for fraying.
  • Keep the pivot points clean of grit and road debris to maintain the tactile feel of the DoubleTap mechanism.
  • Use a light, bicycle-specific lubricant on the lever pivots annually.
