Product Details

Overview & Technology

SRAM Level Gen 2 is a purpose-built hydraulic brake lever assembly optimized for lightweight cross-country and trail riding. The lever body and blade are machined from aluminum for a balanced mix of stiffness and low weight, delivering a responsive feel at the lever while keeping mass to a minimum (shipping weight ~0.25 lb). The unit comes assembled and ready to attach to a brake hose — it includes the brass barb and olive for a secure compression fitting, but it does not include a hose. Gen 2 brings subtle ergonomic refinements and improved clamp geometry over the original Level lever for better bite and consistent modulation under varied conditions.

Key Features

Materials & construction: machined aluminum lever blade and alloy body for stiffness without excess weight, corrosion-resistant hardware and sealed pivot to resist grit and weather. • Assembled lever: ships with barb and olive for hose attachment — hose not included. • Black finish: durable anodizing that matches modern SRAM Level calipers and cockpit parts. • Fixed reach: no reach adjust — designed for simplicity and a positive lever feel favored by many XC riders. • OEM fit: Manufacturer Part #: 11.5018.046.008, SRAM Model ID: DB-SPP-A0, Product #: 190205.

Fit, Compatibility & Installation

The Level Gen 2 lever is intended for SRAM Level-series hydraulic systems and compatible calipers. It uses a standard compression barb and olive connection so it can be fitted to cut-to-length hoses by a qualified mechanic or home wrench with the correct hose kit and bleed equipment. Installation notes: because the lever is sold without a hose, confirm hose length, routing and bleed procedure before installation. The lever is not reach-adjustable — riders who rely on on-the-fly reach changes should consider a different SRAM lever model. Shipping dimensions: 4.5" x 0.75" x 7"; weight: 0.25 lb.

Who It's For

This lever is ideal for XC and trail riders who want a lightweight, simple, proven SRAM lever with clean ergonomics and reliable modulation. It suits riders upgrading from entry-level mechanical brakes or replacing a damaged lever while keeping their existing Level calipers. Not recommended for riders who need on-the-fly reach adjustment, riders using non‑SRAM hydraulic platforms without an appropriate adapter, or teams requiring fully tool-free lever customization. If you want one-finger levers, higher lever modulation, or reach adjust, consider other SRAM models in the range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this lever come with a hose?

No. The Level Gen 2 lever ships assembled and includes the barb and olive for hose attachment, but the brake hose is not included. You’ll need a compatible SRAM hose and a proper bleed kit or professional installation to finish the job.

Is this lever compatible with Shimano brakes?

No. This lever is designed for SRAM Level-series hydraulic systems and compatible SRAM calipers. Mixing SRAM levers with Shimano calipers is not recommended due to different lever-piston and valve characteristics.

Can I adjust the reach on this lever?

No. The Level Gen 2 lever has a fixed reach profile and does not offer on-the-fly reach adjustment. Riders needing adjustable reach should choose a different SRAM model that explicitly lists reach adjust capability.

What parts are included in the box?

The package includes the assembled aluminum lever, a compression barb, and an olive for connecting a cut-to-length hose. It does not include a hose, caliper, rotor, or bleed fluid.

How difficult is installation?

Installation requires cutting and flaring or compression-fitting a brake hose and performing a bleed. If you’re comfortable with hydraulic brake work and have the correct hose kit and bleed tools, installation is straightforward; otherwise, have a qualified bike shop complete the fit and bleed.

What is the exact part number I should order?

Order Part #: 190205 or Manufacturer Part #: 11.5018.046.008. The SRAM Model ID is DB-SPP-A0 — use those identifiers to ensure you receive the Gen 2 lever in black.

Buying Guide

When choosing a replacement hydraulic lever, prioritize compatibility, materials and the features you actually need. Confirm the lever matches your caliper family (this Level Gen 2 is intended for SRAM Level-series systems) and check whether you require reach adjustment, blade shape for one or two-finger braking, and weight vs durability trade-offs. Decide whether you’ll install the hose yourself or have a shop do it — this lever ships without a hose but includes the barb and olive, so you’ll need a compatible hose kit and bleed tools. If in doubt, consult your local mechanic or contact Forest Bikes for guidance on hose kits and bleed service options.
