SRAM HRD
Platform Overview
UNCONDITIONAL BRAKING.
It’s about time.
Every ride is different. Riding conditions are as reliable as the weatherman. And controlling speed is just as important as maximizing it. So, we created hydraulic road disc (HRD) solutions for riders who don’t let circumstance compromise their ride. It’s for the purist descending thousands of meters of mountain road, reaching absurd speeds. It’s for the CX athlete competing in the nastiest conditions imaginable. It's for the triathlete searching for new levels of speed. It’s for the commuter who pedals to work rain or shine. SRAM HRD is braking for unconditional riders.
HRD is available across a wide range of SRAM road products, from SRAM RED eTap™ to Apex® 1. HRD is represented by three brake platforms, HydroR™, HydroHC™, and HydroT™.
