SRAM Force 1 Hydraulic Disc Brake Front 950mm Post Mount

Performance-focused hydraulic disc brake built specifically for SRAM hydraulic road systems using Post Mount frames and forks.

The SRAM Force 1 Hydraulic Disc Brake delivers powerful braking performance and refined modulation for gravel, cyclocross, and aggressive all-road riding. Built around a forged aluminum 2-piston caliper and fully sealed hydraulic system, the Force 1 brake is designed for riders demanding consistent braking confidence in mud, rain, gravel, and fast mixed-surface conditions.

Important: This version uses a Standard Post Mount caliper only. Many modern gravel and road bikes use Flat Mount systems instead. Always verify your frame and fork mount type before purchasing.
