Product Information
Full details
The SRAM S900 Direct Mount Front Brake is designed for performance-minded road cyclists who utilize direct-mount frames and demand superior stopping power with a precise, responsive feel. By utilizing a stiff, direct-mount interface, this brake reduces splay force and optimizes energy transfer for efficient modulation and snappy feedback. While it offers excellent compatibility with most non-hydraulic SRAM road levers, it is important to note that this specific unit is strictly for front fork mounting and is limited to frames designed for the direct-mount standard.

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper installation is vital for the S900 to function as intended. Ensure your fork is designed for the direct-mount standard before attempting installation. Use a torque wrench to secure the mounting bolts to the manufacturer's specifications to avoid damaging the fork interface. When centering the brake, use the dedicated centering screw to ensure equal pad clearance on both sides of the rim. To maintain performance, clean your rim braking tracks regularly with isopropyl alcohol to prevent pad glazing and noise. Replace the SwissStop Flash Pro pads once the wear indicators become visible to ensure you maintain peak stopping power throughout the season.
