You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I currently run XT brakes. My main interest in the SRAM Code brakes is their adjustability b/c I prefer a super short brake lever pull. But the SRAM Codes are super expensive. Are the SRAM Code brakes worth it? Or are other more mainstream brake systems starting to support super short brake lever pull adjustability?
Yes
Yes. Plenty of previous threads on the topic like this one...

yes 100%, the rsc is massively adjustable too, great for me as I'm super fussy with bite point.
Any SRAM Brake running the RSC system has in theory the same range of adjustment. The G2 is great, alot cheaper and only gives up a relatively small amount of power really.
I think these days there are some great alternatives out there, Formula Cura 4 and Hayes Dominion are consistently getting excellent reviews!
I have been running Cura 4 brakes since they were released and find the power and modulation excellent.

Interesting back to back comparison of Codes versus G2’s here. I have both on different bikes and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with either, but if buying new I’d go Code...
yeah code's are brilliant, especially the RSC
Depends what the price is and how much money you've got.
I've only used the code r and it's very good, so I wouldn't spend for the rsc myself.
Big yes.
Most reliable, predictable and "comfortable" brakes I ever had. Also, very tough levers.
This after years going through several generations of XT brakes
