5 FOLLOW THE LEADER
The SRAM Guide brake family introduced a new
standard for mountain bike brakes through rigorous
design and testing, and has been proven at the
highest levels of competition in the Enduro World Series and with downhill World Cup wins. With its
completely new, 4-piston S4 caliper, SwingLink
lever cam, and carbon lever blade, the 360-gram
Guide Ultimate stands alone as the new leader in its
class. It has been engineered to be light and powerful, with superior heat management
capabilities, which give you better, more
consistent, more reliable braking. The new caliper design also incorporates a re-designed seal and
aluminum piston interface for ease of setup and improved consistency, while Bleeding Edge
technology makes bleeding Guide Ultimate a quick
and easy task.

7 S4 CALIPER
The all-new S4 Caliper features four machined and
Moly-coated aluminum pistons for consistent
rollback and easy set-up, improved heat
management features and Bleeding Edge porting and adapter technology for easy bleeds.
Pistons diameter: two 14mm and two 16mm pistons
for power and modulation
New seals, gland geometry and piston coating for
improved rollback, results in easier setup and improved consistency.
Heat Management: enlarged pad pocket, piston
insulators and Heat Shield reduce operating
temperature and minimize heat transfer to the
caliper body.
Bleeding Edge: new bleeding adapter and porting
for quick, mess-free bleeding.

8 NEW SEALS, PISTONS AND GLAND GEOMETRY
The S4 caliper features completely redesigned seals, pistons and gland
geometry that ensure consistent piston rollback. This translates into:
Easy setup: less time required to achieve proper caliper alignment and pad
retraction for drag-free performance.
Consistency: precise piston rollback guarantees a constant lever feel and
contact point in all situations.
Forged aluminum pistons Moly (molybdenum
disulfide) coating Consistent piston
retraction and lever feel
Molded seal Cold weather performance Increased elasticity
Improved consistency
New gland geometry Tightened tolerances Refined shape

PISTON INSULATOR Insulator integrated in the piston.
Phenolic pad interface: phenolic compound reduces heat transfer
from the pads to the piston thus reducing fluid operating
temperature.
Aluminum seal interface: consistent finish and reduced seal wear.
OPEN PAD POCKET More air flow through the caliper to reduce heat:
Pad pocket is 2mm wider than the standard Guide caliper.
Pad pocket length is increased to expose full length of brake pads to air flow.

SWINGLINK
Squeeze a new SRAM brake lever and you notice it
immediately. Less deadband. More positive pad
engagement. A new cam system requires less lever throw to push the pads toward the rotor. Thats great,
but theres more to perfect braking performance than just power. You need control. Many brake systems
minimize deadbandbut at the cost of modulation.
SwingLink solves that with its special cam shape. When the pads contact the rotor, power is
modulated, avoiding that on/off brake feel. Its the perfect balance of power and precision.
PIGGYBACK RESERVOIR
The brake fluid reservoir on SRAMs latest lever design is optimized for both performance and ease
of use. The PiggyBack Reservoir offers a simple, failsafe way to manage brake fluid, and also allows
for ambidextrous lever placementso you can
switch your levers on the handlebar and run them moto without hassle.
14
TIMING PORT CLOSURE
A hydraulic brakes timing port is the connection
between the reservoir and the master cylinder bore.
When the lever is squeezed, a cup seal passes this area and closes the port, which pressurizes the
system. SRAMs new timing port closure system, features durable seals and an ultra-smooth cylinder
bore finish producing dependable braking power
and consistency.
CONTACT POINT ADJUST
Some people like the instantaneous power of a short lever throw. Others prefer the feel of a longer
throw. With Contact Point Adjust, you can pick the
position you want your fingers to be in when your brakes are engaged. Its a quick and easy way to
customize the feel of your brakes without having to move the pads. Its also a way to balance both
brake levers to feel exactly the same.

REACH ADJUST
Brake lever fit and feel is a personal thing. Riders have
individual positioning preferences, as well as unique
hand sizes and finger lengths. Reach Adjust makes it easy to adjust your lever for maximum one-finger
control for everyone.
DEADBAND
This refers to the time between the moment you
engage the lever and when the pads contact the rotor. SRAM technologies such as SwingLink balance the
dual demands of minimizing deadband and optimizing modulation for braking finesse and control.
15
EXPANDABLE BLADDER
SRAMs new brake lever design includes a
reshaped bladder, that helps regulate and reduce
air bubbles. The bladder is specifically shaped to evacuate air from the lever and push the fluid
exactly where its needed. The result is improved back-pressure relief, which produces dependable
braking power and consistency.
DIRECTLINK
SRAMs DirectLink lever design produces a solid,
positive feel the second you squeeze the lever to engage the brake It offers a no-nonsense solution
to give you precise control.
