Product Details

Overview & Technology

SRAM DB Stealth Lever Blade Kit is a direct replacement and upgrade kit engineered to restore or improve the lever feel on DB8 Stealth B1+ and DB6/4 A1+ hydraulic disc brakes. The kit ships with every wear-and-actuation small part needed for a single lever: the CNC-machined aluminum blade, dowel, pushrod, spring, clip and bushings — everything to rebuild the lever assembly for precise, consistent modulation. The lever blade is crafted from CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum with a hard-anodized black finish for corrosion resistance and long-term durability. Precision bushings and a matched pushrod/spring stack ensure smooth pivot action and repeatable return characteristics, translating to sharper bite and improved rider control on technical trails.

Key Features & Benefits

Complete single-lever rebuild kit: includes blade, dowel, pushrod, spring, clip and bushings so you can replace worn components without swapping an entire lever body. This saves weight and cost while restoring original performance. • CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum blade for stiff, predictable lever feel and lighter weight. • Hard-anodized finish resists scratches and corrosion during regular use. • Precision bushings and matched spring/pushrod deliver smooth, consistent actuation and quicker return.

Fit, Installation & Compatibility

This lever blade kit is designed specifically for SRAM DB8 Stealth B1+ and DB6/4 A1+ levers. It replaces the blade and related small parts on a single lever — confirm your brake model before ordering. The kit is not a full lever body replacement and will not fit non-Stealth DB models or legacy lever designs. Installation is straightforward for mechanics or experienced home techs: remove the lever pivot pin, extract the old blade and components, then install the new dowel, bushings, spring, pushrod and blade. No hydraulic bleed is typically required when swapping only the blade and internal small parts, but check for fluid leaks and test lever action before riding.

Who This Is For

Trail riders, racers and shop technicians who want to restore OEM lever feel or replace a damaged blade will appreciate this kit. It's ideal for riders who prefer replacing individual wear items instead of buying a complete lever assembly, and for those who value a light, stiff aluminum blade for precise modulation on demanding terrain. If you ride aggressively and put hours on your brakes, keeping a spare lever blade kit in your tool kit or workshop is smart preventive maintenance — quick to fit, economical, and reliable out on the trail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which SRAM brakes is this lever blade kit compatible with?

This kit is specifically designed for SRAM DB8 Stealth B1+ and DB6/4 A1+ lever assemblies. It replaces the blade and small internal components on a single lever. It is not compatible with non-Stealth DB models or legacy lever designs.

Does the kit include both left and right lever blades?

No — the DB Stealth Lever Blade Kit supplies parts for a single lever (one blade and the matching small components). Order two kits if you need to replace both left and right levers.

Will I need to bleed my brakes after installing this kit?

In most cases you will not need to bleed the system when replacing only the blade and internal mechanical parts, as long as no hydraulic fittings are opened. However, always check for leaks and confirm proper lever action and pad movement before riding. If you open the hydraulic circuit during the repair, perform a full bleed.

What tools are required to install the lever blade kit?

Installation typically requires basic bike tools: a small hex wrench or Torx for pivot hardware removal, needle-nose pliers for the clip, and a clean work surface. A SRAM service manual or exploded-parts diagram is helpful to confirm correct part orientation and reassembly torque values.

Is this an OEM replacement or an aftermarket upgrade?

This is an OEM SRAM replacement part (Manufacturer Part #: 11.5018.053.018) built to the same specs as original components. While it functions as a direct replacement, many riders also use it as a lightweight upgrade over worn or damaged stock plastic blades.

How should I care for the anodized lever blade?

Clean the blade with mild soap and water, avoid harsh solvents or abrasive pads that can damage the anodized finish, and periodically inspect pivot bushings and fasteners for wear. Keep the lever area free of grit to prolong smooth operation.

Buying Guide

When replacing or upgrading a lever blade, prioritize fit and construction. Choose a kit that matches your exact brake model number — a mismatched blade can cause poor actuation or unsafe engagement. Aluminum blades like this SRAM DB Stealth kit offer superior stiffness and a more positive feel than many stamped or plastic alternatives. Decide whether you need a single-leg service kit or a full lever body replacement: blades and small parts are a cost-effective choice for wear or cosmetic damage, while a complete lever swap may be necessary after major crashes. If you're unsure, bring your bike to a qualified mechanic who can confirm compatibility and perform any required bleed or adjustment.
