The Code was already a well respected downhill and freeride brake system,\u00a0but a series of upgrades ensure\u00a0the Code RSC will dominate the category.<\/p>\n<p>The first, and most obvious change to the Code is the new lever body.\u00a0Based on the Guide lever,\u00a0the new design sports updated reach and contact adjustments (even easier to use with gloves on than the previous Code design). The new brake lever also benefits from the Guide&#8217;s SwingLink cam, increasing power as the lever is pulled farther through its stroke. This design means more modulation as well as more power as the brakes start to bite.<\/p>\n<p>Downhill racing puts additional stresses on a brake, and requires a design that takes those stresses into account. SRAM increased the Code lever&#8217;s reservoir volume by 30% for better heat dissipation. This larger reservoir has been moved higher and farther back on the lever body, further lowering\u00a0the risk of air migrating back into the lever.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/12.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10877\" src=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/12.jpg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/12.jpg 800w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/12-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/12-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Code Caliper features larger pistons, further increasing the pressure the lever can exert on the brake pads. More pressure, and thus more powerful braking, does come with a heat penalty, and so the new Code caliper has been designed with an additional heat shield between pad and piston. This gives the new brake better ability to resist heat buildup and prevent the brake fading on extended descents.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/23.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10878\" src=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/23.jpg\" alt=\"2\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/23.jpg 800w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/23-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/23-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>SRAM produced this introductory video of the brakes, which does an amazing job of showcasing the benefits of increased braking control on technical terrain.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"584\" height=\"329\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aQKJPBNc9g0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The SRAM Code R and RSC brakes will be in stock very soon, and can be preordered through your <a href=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/find-a-dealer\" target=\"_blank\">local Live to Play Sports Dealer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/310151-01.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-10879\" src=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/310151-01-150x150.gif\" alt=\"310151-01\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>SRAM Code R<br \/>\nLTP Part number: 310151-01 \/ 02<br \/>\nMSRP: $208.99<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/310150-01.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-10880\" src=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/310150-01-150x150.gif\" alt=\"310150-01\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>SRAM Code RSC<br \/>\nLTP Part number: 310150-01<br \/>\nMSRP: $332.99<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Derek-Kidd-BioFooter.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9195\" src=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Derek-Kidd-BioFooter.jpg\" alt=\"Derek Kidd BioFooter\" width=\"865\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Derek-Kidd-BioFooter.jpg 865w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Derek-Kidd-BioFooter-300x52.jpg 300w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Derek-Kidd-BioFooter-500x87.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 865px) 100vw, 865px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The SRAM Code brake has been revised for 2017, featuring a new lever design and a re-tooled caliper, which promises to boost power by 15%, while increasing modulation.
