Product Information

Full details

The SRAM Code RSC is a high-performance hydraulic disc brake designed for mountain bikers tackling technical enduro and downhill terrain who require maximum stopping power and heat management. It leverages 4-piston power and advanced reservoir volume to provide consistent, reliable braking on long descents; however, users should be prepared for the specific maintenance requirements of a high-performance hydraulic system, such as periodic bleeding.

FAQs

What type of brake fluid does the Code RSC use?

The SRAM Code RSC uses DOT 5.1 brake fluid.

Can I adjust the lever reach without tools?

Yes, the Code RSC features an external dial on the lever that allows for reach adjustment without tools.

Are these brakes suitable for downhill racing?

Yes, the Code RSC is specifically engineered for enduro and downhill applications.

How often should I bleed the brakes?

It is recommended to bleed the brakes at least once a year, or more frequently if you ride in extreme conditions or notice a change in lever feel.

What is the benefit of the included metallic pads?

Metallic pads offer better longevity and superior stopping power in extreme heat and wet, gritty conditions compared to organic pads.

Troubleshooting

Mushy or soft lever feel

The system likely has air trapped in the lines; perform a full system bleed using DOT 5.1 fluid.

Brake pads rubbing against the rotor

Re-center the caliper by loosening the mount bolts, squeezing the lever, and re-tightening. If the issue persists, check for sticky pistons.

Reduced stopping power

Clean the rotor with isopropyl alcohol and verify if the brake pads have been contaminated or worn down to the backing plate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional stopping power for heavy-duty applications
  • Highly adjustable reach and contact point
  • Consistent performance due to increased fluid volume
  • Smooth, fatigue-reducing lever feel
  • Durable, heat-resistant construction

Cons

  • Requires professional-grade bleeding tools
  • Heavier than cross-country brake systems
  • Metallic pads can be noisy in wet conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This unit is a front brake assembly provided with a 950mm hose length. Installation requires standard hydraulic disc brake tools, specifically a bleed kit compatible with DOT 5.1 brake fluid. When mounting, ensure the caliper is centered over the rotor using a feeler gauge or by loosening the mounting bolts, pulling the lever, and tightening while held down. Care should be taken not to contaminate the metallic pads with chain lubricant or cleaning agents. Periodically check the pads for wear; once the pad material is less than 0.5mm thick, it must be replaced. Always clean the caliper body after muddy rides to ensure the pistons move freely.
