SRAM Force 22 Shift/Brake Lever Set

Product Description

The SRAM Force 22 mechanical shifters were modeled after the best in class comfort of SRAM RED®. Everything received the same detail, including the transition between handlebar & hoods, the grip texture, finger wrap, & the separate interfaces with both the shifter & brake lever. The understated black finish makes it look fast & is a perfect match for any machine.

Features: Lightweight at 307 grams Ergo Fit textured body improves grip & finger wrap with reduced diameter, providing better control, & a better transition to the bar Individual Reach Adjust of brake & shift lever puts the controls exactly where you want them Larger Ergo Blade lever improves shifting from the drops Double Tap® technology delivers both shifts from the single lever Zero Loss™ shifting means shifts engage immediately. Clamp allows better fit & adjustment for modern carbon & ergo bars Double Tap Double Tap® makes changing gears easier & faster, eliminating the cumbersome & awkward engagement associated with two-lever systems. Double Tap handles up- & downshifts in one short, sweeping motion, with minimal effort & maximum comfort no matter where you are on the bars. Double Tap® uses two pawls, one for holding the ratchet wheel, & one for transporting it up & down through the gear change. The pawls are arranged in a way so that they can leapfrog each other depending on how far, & with how much pressure, you push the shift lever. With short, rapid taps the transport pawl (04) moves the ratchet wheel (02) up through the shifting range. Downshifting comes via a longer sweep of the lever (in the same inward direction you upshift, but to an ergonomically maximized 15° angle) with the holding pawl (03) & the transport pawl leapfrogging each other quickly & smoothly. Location, Location, Location: Double Tap’s one-motion unidirectional levers (05) work flawlessly no matter what position you’re shifting from. Its double-articulated design (01), which is completely separate from the brake pivot, is easily engaged from the hoods or the drops. Unlike all other forward controls, Double Tap® also lets you pull the shift lever in against the bars so you can upshift while sprinting or attacking without giving up a firm grip. On Double Tap® controls, the brake & shift levers are completely independent, each operating with their own pivot points. This not only allows for the multiposition functionality, it also eliminates the risk of engaging brakes or shifters unintentionally—an unfortunate side effect of other shift/brake lever designs. Ergo Dynamics Longer brake levers, independent reach adjust for the brake & shift levers, & optimized hood shape give riders of any size comfort & easy access to the controls. Yaw The front derailleur cage rotates to maintain a consistent angular relationship with the chain. Yaw technology eliminates the need for shifter trim. As a result, shifts feel more direct, more precise, & combined with the new Red crankset & chainrings, delivers an unmatched performance advantage in front shifting. Zero Loss Zero Loss simply means, well, zero loss—when you push on the lever, for an upshift or down shift, the cable is engaged instantly—zero loss of movement. There is no middle-ground where you're waiting for the shift to come. Gear changes are instant & precise.
