SRAM 5.1 DOT Hydraulic Brake Fluid - 4oz

The SRAM 5.1 DOT Hydraulic Brake Fluid is a high-performance fluid engineered specifically for use in SRAM and Avid hydraulic disc brake systems. It is formulated to deliver consistent braking power, smooth lever feel, and reliable performance under high heat and heavy braking conditions.

DOT 5.1 fluid is known for its higher boiling point compared to DOT 3 and DOT 4, which helps prevent brake fade during long descents or aggressive riding. This makes it especially important for mountain, gravel, and road riders who demand consistent braking performance in demanding conditions. The non-silicone formula is designed to maintain stable viscosity across a wide temperature range, ensuring predictable lever response and modulation.

The fluid is vacuum sealed to minimize moisture contamination, which is critical because DOT fluids are hygroscopic (they absorb water over time). Maintaining low moisture content helps preserve braking performance and system longevity.
