The SRAM Faltenbalk i-Brake is a protective bellows designed for use with SRAM’s i-Brake hydraulic systems, helping to shield the hose and moving brake components from dirt, water and road grime. By covering exposed sections of the brake line and linkage, this flexible rubber boot reduces contamination that can lead to premature wear, sticky performance or increased maintenance. It is especially useful for riders who frequently ride in wet, muddy or winter conditions, where spray from the front wheel can quickly reach the brake area.
Easy to install and compatible with the corresponding SRAM i-Brake hardware, the Faltenbalk offers a simple way to extend the life of your hydraulic brake system. The concertina-style design allows full movement of the brake without restriction, while still maintaining a close seal around the hose and fittings. Whether you use your bike for daily commuting, touring or sporty rides, this small component can make a noticeable difference in long-term reliability, keeping your braking smooth and consistent with less cleaning and servicing required.
