SRAM Level TLM SJ Disc Brake

Level TLM puts proven SRAM braking performance and consistency at your fingertips, in a sleek, lightweight design optimized specifically for cross-country and light trail use. Power and modulation are delivered via the Level TLM’s alloy lever blade, DirectLink actuation, DOT 5.1 fluid and SRAM's Level two-piston, monoblock caliper. The design provides superior heat management for consistent, fade-free performance all day long, and Bleeding Edge technology makes maintenance incredibly simple, so your brakes feel great all day - every day.

Lightweight and Durable Caliper Design

Incorporates technologies developed on Guide Ultimate’s S4 caliper Moly-coated aluminium pistons for consistent rollback and easy set-up New seals, gland geometry and piston coating for improved rollback, results in easier setup and improved consistency Heat Management: piston insulators and Heat Shield reduce operating temperature and minimize heat transfer to the caliper body Bleeding Edge: new bleeding adapter and porting for quick, mess-free bleeding Two 21mm pistons Monoblock construction.

Bleeding Edge Braking Efficiency

New bleed porting and fluid path make it easier to push fluid through the caliper for quick and easy bleeding. A dedicated bleed adapter for the Level Ultimate/TLM and S4 calipers (Guide Ultimate) plugs into the bleed port and seals the system to minimize air contamination and fluid loss.

Timing Port Closure

A hydraulic brake’s timing port is the connection between the reservoir and the master cylinder bore. When the lever is squeezed, a cup seal passes this area and closes the port, which pressurizes the system. SRAM’s new timing port closure system features durable seals and an ultra-smooth cylinder bore finish producing dependable braking power and consistency.

Contact Point Adjust 

Some people like the instantaneous power of a short lever throw. Others prefer the feel of a longer throw. With Contact Point Adjust, you can pick the position you want your fingers to be in when your brakes are engaged. It’s a quick and easy way to customize the feel of your brakes without having to move the pads. It’s also a way to balance both brake levers to feel exactly the same.

Piggyback Reservoir

The brake fluid reservoir on SRAM’s latest lever design is optimized for both performance and ease of use. The PiggyBack Reservoir offers a simple, failsafe way to manage brake fluid, and also allows for ambidextrous lever placement—so you can switch your levers on the handlebar and run them moto without hassle.

Direct Link 

SRAM’s DirectLink lever design produces a solid, positive feel the second you squeeze the lever to engage the brake It offers a no-nonsense solution to give you precise control.

Reach Adjust Brake

Lever fit and feel is a personal thing. Riders have individual positioning preferences, as well as unique hand sizes and finger lengths. Reach Adjust makes it easy to adjust your lever for maximum one-finger control for everyone.

Dead Band

This refers to the time between the moment you engage the lever and when the pads contact the rotor. SRAM technologies such as SwingLink balance the dual demands of minimizing deadband and optimizing modulation for braking finesse and control.

Expandable Bladder

SRAM’s Level brake lever design includes a reshaped bladder, that helps regulate and reduce air bubbles. The bladder is specifically shaped to evacuate air from the lever and push the fluid exactly where it’s needed. The result is improved back-pressure relief, which produces dependable braking power and consistency.
