From bombing downhill runs to launching off freeride jumps when we have little room for error, having powerful brakes to give us confidence when it is all on the line is a game changer. Introducing the SRAM Maven Disc Brake, SRAM's most powerful brake to date designed for downhill riding, E-bike use, and aggressive enduro riding. The Maven Bronze Disc Brake features oversized pistons and pads to give next-level power. With 50% more power than SRAM Codes and a 32% reduction in lever force to achieve the same braking force, the Maven caliper is a must-have for hard-charging downhill riders. The Maven is a hybrid between the budget-friendly mineral oil SRAM DB8 brake and the most recent iteration of the premium SRAM Code, giving us a low maintenance, mineral oil brake that has massive power on delivery suitable for downhill riding. The Maven caliper is exceptionally thick and has a greater thermal mass than other SRAM calipers, meaning it resists excessive heat build-up and stays within an ideal operating temperature for longer optimal performance. The four-bolt design on the side of the caliper makes for a stiffer construction when under extreme braking forces, reducing power loss and making for a more solid feel. Stealth technology improves the lever construction and makes for a cleaner look with tidier cable routing, and a tool-free reach adjustment gives us an ergonomic fit.
