Again going back to Product Teams making product team decisions, but if I was SRAM I would take a page out of Magura’s playbook. The Code is a great brake system. Just offer the Code.
If you need a ‘trail’ option make some Juicy-7 calipers and sell a version with those on the back called a ‘Code Trail.’
The fact that folks are replacing new SRAM brakes with Shimano strictly comes down to the product manager as I’d bet a beer you would prefer Codes over Shimano 4-Piston.
Re. NX. I had one eat itself on my commuter. SRAM was wicked fast with a no-questions warranty through my local shop. If you kept the derailleur it’s worth sending it in for a consideration if it’s just a dead clutch.
