Product Details

Overview & Technology

SRAM Code RSC Gen 2 lever assembly (PN 190212, MPN 11.5018.046.016) is built for aggressive mountain and enduro riding where precise modulation and durability matter. This unit ships assembled in black and includes the required barb and olive — ready for hose routing and final bleeding. Note: hose is not included. The Gen 2 lever uses a forged aluminum construction for a strong, light and fatigue-resistant feel under repeated hard braking. The tool-free reach adjust lets you dial position quickly on the trail so braking is comfortable whether you're wearing thin gloves on a hot descent or thick gloves in cooler conditions.

Key Features & Benefits

Durable, responsive lever action: The aluminum lever body balances stiffness and controlled flex so you get consistent bite and modulation on long descents. Precise machining and finish reduce play and deliver a confident two-finger or single-finger brake feel depending on rider setup. Trail-friendly convenience: Tool-free reach adjustment and pre-assembled barb & olive speed up installation and allow quick ergonomics tuning without tools. The assembly is finished in black for corrosion resistance and a clean, stealth look on any build.

Fit, Compatibility & Installation

This lever assembly is designed for SRAM Code-series hydraulic systems and serves as a direct replacement for Code RSC master assemblies. Because it ships without a hose, you can cut to your bike's routing and pair with your choice of hose length and fittings — the included barb and olive make the hose connection straightforward during assembly and bleeding. Installation notes: clamp the lever to standard 22.2 mm handlebars, route a compatible hydraulic hose, install the supplied barb and olive, then bleed according to SRAM's service instructions. If you plan to mix with other master or caliper families, verify compatibility with SRAM specifications or consult our tech team at Forest Bikes.

Who It's For

The Code RSC Gen 2 lever is aimed at enduro and gravity riders who want a rugged, serviceable lever with precise modulation and quick on-trail adjustability. It suits racers seeking reliable performance and tech-savvy riders performing component swaps or upgrades. It's also a great option for mechanics and home-wrenchers who prefer a pre-assembled master body to speed up builds and minimize parts handling — you supply the hose length to match your frame and routing preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this lever include the hydraulic hose?

No. The Code RSC Gen 2 lever ships assembled but without a hydraulic hose. It includes the barb and olive so you can fit and cut the hose to your bike's routing before bleeding.

Is this lever compatible with other SRAM brakes?

This assembly is designed for SRAM Code-series masters and intended as a direct swap for Code RSC systems. If you plan to mix with other SRAM master or caliper families, check SRAM's compatibility charts or contact Forest Bikes support to confirm fit.

How does the tool-free reach adjust work?

The tool-free reach adjust mechanism lets you quickly move the lever pivot closer or further from the bar using a thumb dial or screw on the lever body. It's designed for fast micro-adjustments so you can get comfortable without tools on the trail.

What maintenance is required after installation?

After installing a hose and fitting the barb and olive, you'll need to bleed the system following SRAM's service instructions. Periodically check lever pivot bolts and clamp torque, and inspect the hose fittings for leaks after the first rides.

What brake fluid should I use?

Follow the brake fluid specifications listed in SRAM's official service manual for the Code RSC system. Using the fluid type recommended by SRAM and proper bleeding procedures ensures optimal performance and longevity.

Buying Guide

When choosing a replacement or upgrade lever for hydraulic MTBs, prioritize mechanical compatibility (master-to-caliper fit), lever ergonomics (reach and blade shape), and ease of servicing. Decide whether you want a pre-assembled master body like this product — it speeds bench work but still requires hose cutting and a professional bleed. Consider clamp diameter for your bars, how you prefer to set reach (tool-free adjust is valuable on the trail), and whether you need features like multi-finger friendly blades or bite-point tuning. Always match the lever to a compatible hose, fittings, and the brake fluid specified by the brake manufacturer.
