SRAM Force 22 HRD Shift/Brake Lever & Flat Mount Caliper One Color, Right

With disc brakes barreling towards dominance of even the pavement-covered frontiers, SRAM's Force 22 HRD Shift/Brake Lever & Flat Mount Caliper sets the trend for powerful braking and precise shifting at a more affordable price point than its top-tier Red counterpart.

Featuring stainless steel backed organic pads, these calipers are designed to pa...
