Product Details

Overview & Technology

SRAM Force HRD Caliper (DB‑SPP‑A0) is the direct replacement caliper for SRAM Force22 and Force1 hydraulic road brake systems. Built as a flat‑mount assembly for front or rear installation, it gives you the original factory braking performance and modulation expected from SRAM’s HRD family. The caliper pairs a lightweight, precision‑machined aluminum body with a dual opposing‑piston layout for even pad contact and predictable stopping power. Stainless hardware and corrosion‑resistant finishes extend service life, while compact flat‑mount architecture keeps clearance tight for road frames and forks.

Key Features & Construction

Engineered for real‑world braking: the caliper’s dual opposing pistons deliver even pad wear and consistent bite, translating to stable lever feel across long descents and wet rides. The assembly is designed to accept SRAM road brake pads and uses the manufacturer bleed port layout for easy maintenance. Construction highlights include:• Lightweight, precision‑machined aluminum caliper body for strength-to-weight balance • Precision pistons and stainless hardware for corrosion resistance • Flat‑mount footprint to fit modern road frames and forks • Sold as caliper only — rotor and adapter are not included

Fit, Compatibility & Installation

This caliper is the OEM fit for SRAM Force22 and Force1 HRD lever systems and is identified by SRAM model ID DB‑SPP‑A0 and MPN 11.5018.040.000. It installs as a flat‑mount caliper and can be used on front or rear positions where the flat‑mount standard is specified. Because this listing is the caliper assembly only, you will need a compatible rotor and, if your frame/fork requires it, a flat‑mount adapter sized for your rotor diameter (e.g., 140mm or 160mm). Use SRAM bleed fittings and the appropriate HRD bleed kit when servicing. If you’re unsure about fit, check your frame/fork flat‑mount specifications or contact our tech team with your frame make/model.

Who This Caliper Is For

If you ride road—whether fast group rides, all‑weather commuting, or spirited weekend gran fondos—and you use SRAM Force22 or Force1 hydraulic brakes, this caliper is the correct replacement part to restore factory braking performance. It’s ideal for riders and mechanics who need a direct OEM fit, want consistent lever feel, and prefer the compact flat‑mount interface common on modern road bikes. Shops and DIY home mechanics will appreciate the straightforward swap‑in design and SRAM‑standard bleed port layout that fits existing HRD hoses and bleed tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this caliper compatible with Shimano road levers?

This caliper is designed for SRAM HRD hydraulic systems (Force22/Force1) and uses SRAM's hose and bleed port standards. Hydraulic compatibility between brands varies; mixing brands is not recommended because lever-to-caliper piston ratios and bleed fittings differ. For best results use with SRAM HRD levers and hoses.

Does the caliper come with brake pads, rotor, or adapter?

No. This listing is the caliper assembly only — it does not include rotors, adapters, or brake pads. You’ll need SRAM‑compatible road pads and the correct rotor diameter and flat‑mount adapter for your frame/fork if required.

What brake fluid should I use when bleeding this caliper?

Service and bleeding should follow SRAM’s specifications for HRD brakes. Use the SRAM‑recommended hydraulic fluid and the official HRD bleed kit or an equivalent that supports SRAM fittings. If you’re unsure, consult SRAM technical documents or a certified mechanic.

Can I install this caliper on both the front and rear?

Yes—the caliper is offered for front or rear flat‑mount installation. Verify you have the correct flat‑mount adapter (if your frame/fork requires one) to match the rotor diameter you plan to use.

What are the physical dimensions and weight?

Shipping dimensions for this small assembly are approximately 4.1" x 4" x 1.3" and the listed item weight is 0.15 lb. Actual installed weight will vary with pads, rotor, and adapter.

How do I know if this is the right SRAM part for my bike?

Match your existing caliper's SRAM model ID (DB‑SPP‑A0) or the manufacturer part number (11.5018.040.000). Also confirm you have Force22 or Force1 HRD levers and a flat‑mount frame/fork. If in doubt, send us your frame/fork details and we’ll confirm fitment.

Buying Guide

When replacing a road hydraulic caliper, prioritize exact model fit and bleed port compatibility — hydraulic systems are sensitive to piston ratios and bleed fittings. Confirm your levers are part of the SRAM HRD family (Force22/Force1) and that your frame/fork uses flat‑mount tabs. Decide on rotor diameter (commonly 140mm or 160mm) and purchase the correct flat‑mount adapter if needed. For long term performance, pair the new caliper with fresh pads and a clean rotor, and perform a full bleed using SRAM‑specified fluid and tools. If you lack the necessary tools or experience, a shop service will ensure safe, consistent braking performance.
