Product Details

Overview & Technology

SRAM's G2 R Caliper Assembly is a factory-assembled caliper body finished in A2 black anodize and built to deliver consistent modulation and thermal performance on trail and all-mountain rides. Supplied without hose, this unit is ideal for riders and mechanics who need a plug-and-play caliper replacement that matches original SRAM spec and feel. The caliper features a precision-machined aluminum body with a corrosion-resistant hard-anodized finish, precision-bore pistons and high-temperature seals engineered to maintain pad alignment and consistent lever feedback under prolonged braking loads. The assembled package reduces installation guesswork — you’ll still need to fit your hose, bleed and bed-in pads for peak performance.

Key Features & Real-World Benefits

Materials and construction: Machined aluminum caliper body with A2 black anodize protects against abrasion and corrosion while keeping weight low. Pistons and internal hardware use durable metals and high-temp elastomers to preserve performance under heat and contamination. What that means on the trail: firmer bite without harshness, stable modulation on long descents and improved pad life thanks to precise piston alignment. As an OEM-spec caliper assembly, it restores original brake feel and is an excellent option for upgrading worn or damaged calipers.

Fit, Compatibility & Installation

This caliper is the direct G2 R caliper assembly from SRAM (Model ID: DB-SPP-A0, MPN 11.5018.056.008). It is supplied assembled but without a hose, so you'll need a compatible hose and fittings to connect to your lever. Designed to work with SRAM G2 R levers and standard post-mount frames and adapters — confirm rotor size and adapter requirements for your fork/frame. Installation requires mounting to your bike, cutting and fitting hose and compression fittings, and a full bleed. We recommend using the correct SRAM bleed kit and fresh pads; always torque fasteners to manufacturer spec and bed in new pads for optimal stopping power.

Who This Caliper Is For

Ideal for mountain riders who demand consistent braking on technical singletrack, all-mountain climbs and fast descents. If your G2 R caliper is damaged, seizing, or leaking, this OEM replacement restores original performance without the variability of third-party remanufactured parts. Also a great choice for mechanics and shops stocking reliable OEM components: compact shipping size and light weight make it easy to keep spares on hand for quick turnaround repairs and builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this caliper come with a brake hose?

No — the G2 R Caliper Assembly is supplied assembled but without a hose. You’ll need to purchase a compatible SRAM hose, fittings and compression olive or have a shop cut and fit the correct length.

Is this caliper compatible with my SRAM G2 R lever?

Yes. This is the OEM caliper for the G2 R system and is designed to work with G2 R levers. Confirm your lever generation and mounting standard if you have a mixed or modified setup.

Which brake pads work with this caliper?

The G2 R caliper accepts standard SRAM/SRAM-compatible G2 pad shapes available in organic, semi-metallic and sintered compounds. Choose the pad compound to match your riding style and rotor compatibility.

Do I need to bleed the brakes after installing this caliper?

Yes. After fitting the hose and connecting the caliper you should perform a full brake bleed with the appropriate SRAM bleed kit and mineral oil to remove air and ensure consistent lever feel.

Can I swap rotor sizes with this caliper?

Rotor size is determined by your fork/frame clearance and adapter. The caliper itself mounts as standard post-mount; use the correct adapter to run 160–200mm rotors depending on your bike and braking needs.

What warranty or support does SRAM provide for this part?

SRAM covers OEM brake parts under their standard warranty against manufacturing defects. Keep proof of purchase and contact Forest Bikes or SRAM directly for warranty guidance if you encounter defects or premature failure.

Buying Guide

When replacing a brake caliper, prioritize compatibility with your existing lever and mounting standard. This SRAM G2 R caliper is an OEM option that restores original performance — select the correct hose length, adapter for rotor size and fresh pads to complete the service. Consider pad compound and rotor condition: worn rotors or contaminated surfaces reduce stopping power even with a new caliper. If you ride steep, technical terrain, choose semi-metallic or sintered pads for improved heat resistance and consistent bite under repeated braking.
