New Stealth brakes: design becomes crucial for SRAM

Integration is one of the trends that is marking the current mountain bike and in this sense SRAM has just introduced a new range of Stealth brakes that improves the front design of the handlebar thanks to a new lever that points directly to the new internal cable systems. The new SRAM Stealth brakes come in Code and Level models and with Ultimate and Silver versions.

• New lever design with better integration
• Ultimate and Silver versions for Code and Level models
• 4-piston version for silver model
• From 220€ for the Level model and 320€ for the Code models

New SRAM Stealth Code and Level brakes

This is another of the components that we have been seeing in development for some time in different XCO World Cup events and finally sees the light of day officially. SRAM has reorganized its range of brakes under the name Stealth and in it we find the Level and Code models in Silver and Ultimate versions.

When asked why these Stealth brakes are appearing now, SRAM says they do so to complement the clean, stylish aesthetics of any bike that mounts AXS electronic groupsets. The Stealth brake lever has been designed to integrate with the new generation of cockpits and cable routing.

The truth is that the differences in terms of performance with the current models are minimal, but it is enough to see them mounted on the handlebars to make them look like a completely different model.

As mentioned, the new Code Stealth brakes share many of the same specifications as the previous Code, such as the four-piston caliper with 15 and 16mm pistons, Stealth-to-majig compression adjustments and MatchMaker X brackets.
