Sram Level TLM B1

XC Efficiency. Trail Power.

The Level TLM B1 is defined by its Mono-Bloc caliper design. CNC-machined from a single piece of aluminum, this caliper is incredibly stiff, ensuring that every millimeter of lever pull is translated into direct clamping force on the rotor. Combined with Sram's DirectLink lever design, the TLM provides a solid, positive feel that gives you total confidence when diving into technical corners or navigating steep chutes.

Why the Level TLM B1 is a Performance Benchmark:

• Mono-Bloc Caliper: The two-piston, one-piece construction is optimized for stiffness and heat dissipation, preventing brake fade on long, technical descents.

• DirectLink Lever Design: Provides a snappy, positive engagement the moment you touch the lever, offering a "connected" feel that is essential for high-speed XC racing.

• Bleeding Edge™ Technology: Features a dedicated bleed port and adapter that makes maintenance quick and mess-free. This ensures your brakes are perfectly bled with zero air bubbles, every time.

• Heat Shield Protection: A stainless steel shield breaks the thermal connection between the brake pads and the caliper body, reducing fluid temperature by up to 20°C to maintain consistent performance.

• Lightweight Alloy Construction: By using an alloy lever blade and titanium hardware, Sram has kept the weight impressively low for a brake with this much stopping power.

• MatchMaker X Compatible: Clean up your cockpit by integrating your brake lever, shifter, and dropper remote into a single, elegant clamp.

The Alegro Perspective: In the shop, we consider the TLM B1 the "sweet spot" of the Sram brake lineup. It gives you the high-end Mono-Bloc caliper of the Ultimate series but at a more accessible price point. If you are building up a lightweight cross-country rig or a "downcountry" bike, this brake provides the perfect balance of modulation and raw power. It’s quiet, easy to maintain, and looks incredibly sharp on any modern carbon frame.
