There are three complete brake sets available with Code taking up the usual enduro duties. Stealth Bronze gets the Level body of the latest Silver Stealth brakes, which brings the hose closer to the bar for a tidier aesthetic. This new lever benefits from tool-free reach adjustment while metallic pads are standard. It also gets SRAM's SwingLink that's said to offer progressive power throughout the lever pull.
The cross-country Level brakes get a similar treatment. The four-piston model is claimed to deliver trail bike levels of power. This brake gets all of the features seen on the Code build. Just like the pricier brakes, Stealth Bronze also offers its cross-country brake with a two-piston caliper for weight-conscious riders.
The brakes come in at rather reasonable price points, starting at £115 for the two-piston brakes. Prices jump to £175 for the four-piston Level and £200 for the Code Bronze Stealth.
