SRAM Rival 22 Hydraulic Disc Brake (UK Style)

The new SRAM Rival 22 Hydralic Disc Brake represents the entry-level price point into the road hydraulic game, but with all the performance of the more expensive systems.

When designing the Rival 22 disc brakes SRAM looked at their original road and cyclocross hydraulic braking systems and pulled apart every molecule of their anatomy to find room for improvements and make them even better and more reliable.

The lever body, housing the reservoir and master cylinder, was reconfigured for more efficient internal spacing while at the same time boosting strength and stiffness, resulting in solid, consistent performance, regardless of braking or weather conditions. The master cylinder piston itself was also completely revamped, receiving an all-new bore design and new seals, after being subjected to thousands upon thousands of testing hours in every temperature and performance setting imaginable.

The new higher-capacity fluid bladder, was also redesigned to improve fluid flow, so your brakes feel as great brand new as they do after a season of racing. The caliper spring was also re-engineered for more even pad contact and smoother retraction, translating into more consistency and control in hand, regardless of riding conditions. Finally, the shift paddles were trimmed slightly to be both lighter and more ergonomic, and cyclocrossers especially will appreciate the new shape that allows for greater clearance when wearing thicker gloves.
