SRAM Force 22 Zero Loss Rear Shift and Brake Lever

The SRAM Force 22 shift/brake lever is a mechanical control, available in a 11-speed rear version for the right side of the handlebar and a 2-speed front version for the left side. The design draws on the comfort of the SRAM RED range, with attention to the transition between handlebar and hoods, grip texture and finger support. The brake lever is carbon and the shift lever is aluminium.

It is compatible with a 2-speed front derailleur (2s) and a 11-speed rear derailleur (11s), so check your drivetrain before buying. The available colour is black, with black cable housing and coating. Check the cable lengths too: the shift cable measures 1900 mm for the front and 2200 mm for the rear, while the brake cables measure 1100 mm and 1750 mm.

Founded in Chicago in 1987 by Stan Day and a group of cycling enthusiasts, SRAM is still based in the US city today. It makes drivetrains and brakes for road, gravel and mountain bikes. Its story began with a single product: Grip Shift, the shifter that lets riders change gear by twisting the grip.
