When SRAM launched its single-ring, 11-speed, wide-range drivetrain in the summer of 2012 it took quite a few years for the technology to trickle its way down to the entry level groupsets, and it also took some time for the single-ring revolution to really run its course. With 12-speed Eagle, it...

One Minute of Sam Hill Cruising is Better Than No Minutes of Sam Hill at All (video)

This past February, Sam Hill traded in the toasty weather of Western Australia for the leafless, cold, rain and roots of Windrock, Tennessee.

Punching Laps at Maydena Bike Park with Sam Hill and Ben Cory (video)

Steep, loamy trails actually exist in Australia and there's nobody we'd rather watch blasting down the lush green forests of Maydena than SAM HILL!

The Good:

Excellent Modulation
Good power Ergonomic lever Durable

The Bad:

Get super spongey when pads wear to 50%

Overall Review: The sram Code R came stock on my aluminum Santa Cruz Nomad 4 s-kit. I have been riding the bike since October of 2017 and have definitely put it through the wringer. The majority of the riding I do is pedaling to the top and riding down, although I can't wait to take the bike to some chairlift...

The Good:

I really like the modulation of Sram brakes these are a great example lots of lever feel. This means it's really easy to keep the wheels from locking up. They're pretty powerful and they'll stop you when you want. If you're a heavier rider I'd recommend going for something burlier though. The contact point adjust is nice to have because you can always make your brakes feel the same, it's not a necessity but I got it because I work in a shop.

On the trail they performed awesome, the extra modulation makes it easier to brake late into corners and the power makes them easy to trust.

Bleeding them is also really easy thanks to the bleeding edge tool.

The Bad:

In my experience they had some fade in hotter conditions. Anything over 90 degrees and after a moderate descent I could feel some fade. They are slightly noisy but I don't mind.

Overall Review: Really good brakes overall especially if you are looking for something with good control and you like having a lot of adjustment.
