Product Details

Overview & Technology

Genuine SRAM Gen2 lever internals designed specifically for Guide R, Guide RE, DB5 and Code R brake levers. This OEM service component (Manufacturer Part #: 11.5018.005.008; SRAM Model ID: DB-SVC-LVR-A1) replaces worn internal lever elements to bring back factory engagement, bite and modulation. The assembly is engineered to SRAM's tolerance standards and uses durable materials and surface finishes to resist wear from continuous use and contamination. Replacing worn internals keeps lever travel consistent, reduces unwanted play, and preserves the progressive feel riders expect from modern mountain bike disc brakes.

Key Features & Benefits

Small part, big impact — swapping the lever internals is a cost-effective way to refresh braking performance without replacing the whole lever. Installing new internals restores crisp engagement and helps maintain even pressure distribution for predictable stopping power. • OEM fit: Exact SRAM factory dimensions for perfect mating with Guide R/RE/DB5/Code R levers. • Durable construction: Precision components and corrosion-resistant finishes for long life under trail conditions. • Service-friendly: Supplied as a single unit (Qty 1) for straightforward replacement during routine maintenance.

Fit & Compatibility

This lever internals kit is compatible with SRAM Guide R, Guide RE, DB5 and Code R lever bodies — the Gen2 internal specification. Confirm compatibility by checking your lever model against the SRAM Model ID: DB-SVC-LVR-A1 or Manufacturer Part #: 11.5018.005.008. Note: This is a lever-internals service part only and does not include the complete lever assembly, blades, or external hardware. It is intended for the specified SRAM models; it may not fit older Gen1 or unrelated SRAM brake families without modification.

Who This Is For

Trail and enduro riders who demand consistent lever feel and modulation but want a cost-effective repair option will appreciate this OEM service part. It's ideal for riders performing in-field maintenance, mechanics servicing multiple bikes, and enthusiasts who prefer genuine SRAM replacement components. If your lever has excessive play, inconsistent engagement, or a vague bite point after years of riding, replacing the Gen2 internals will often bring the lever back to near-new performance—delivering confidence on steep, technical descents and fast trail sections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which brake models is this part compatible with?

This Gen2 lever internals kit is compatible with SRAM Guide R, Guide RE, DB5 and Code R lever bodies. Confirm compatibility by matching your lever to SRAM Model ID DB-SVC-LVR-A1 or Manufacturer Part # 11.5018.005.008.

What does the kit include and how many pieces are supplied?

This listing is for a single OEM lever internals unit (Qty 1). It includes the internal service components specified by SRAM for the Gen2 lever design. It does not include the external lever blade, clamp, or hose.

Can I install this myself or should I use a mechanic?

If you have basic bike-mechanic skills and the right tools (torques, small punches, and assembly lube), replacing lever internals can be done at home. However, if you’re not comfortable disassembling brake levers or reassembling small parts to torque spec, having a professional mechanic install it is recommended to ensure safety and correct function.

Do I need to bleed the brakes after replacing the lever internals?

In many cases a full bleed is recommended after lever-internal service to remove any air introduced during disassembly and to ensure correct lever feel. Follow SRAM’s bleed procedures for your specific model to achieve optimal performance.

Is this an OEM SRAM part and does it come with warranty?

Yes — this is a genuine SRAM OEM service part. Warranty coverage depends on SRAM’s terms and any applicable Forest Bikes policies; please retain your purchase documentation and contact Forest Bikes or SRAM for warranty assistance.

Will this improve brake performance if my pads and rotors are fine?

Yes — worn or degraded lever internals can cause excess play, inconsistent bite, and poor modulation even with fresh pads and rotors. Replacing the internal components often restores the precise engagement you expect from the brake system.

Buying Guide

When buying lever internals, prioritize genuine OEM parts for precise fit and material compatibility with your brake system. Confirm your lever generation (Gen2 in this case) and compare the SRAM Model ID or part number to avoid ordering an incompatible kit. Consider whether you’re performing a single-lever repair or servicing a pair — order the correct quantity. If you’re not comfortable with disassembly, reassembly and bleeding procedures, budget for professional installation to ensure safe, reliable braking performance.
