SRAM Maven Ultimate Disc Brake

Why We Like The SRAM Maven Ultimate Disc Brake

Whether we are on a heavy downhill bike, an E-Bike, are a heavier rider, or just what the most power available for the steepest most aggressive riding, the SRAM Maven brakes are for us. The Maven Ultimate Disc Brake is SRAM´s most powerful brake they have ever made, and feature oversized pistons and pads to give us maximum stopping power. The pistons and brake pad are bigger than SRAM´s Code brake, giving the Maven 50% more power under the same lever force. The Maven caliper has greater thermal mass than other SRAM calipers, which means they resist power-scrubbing heat build up, and maintain an optimal working temperature for longer for a consistent brake feel on steep, technical descents. The four-bolt design on the side of the caliper makes for a stiffer caliper when under extreme braking forces, reducing power loss and making for a more solid feel. SRAM took their new technology from the DB8 and the recently improved Code brakes and combined them to produce the Maven brake. The Maven uses mineral oil for less maintenance and better performance, and the Stealth technology improves the lever construction and makes for a cleaner look with tidier cable routing. The Maven features a pad contact adjustment wheel at the lever so we can get the perfect bite pint, and the tool-free reach adjustment ensures our lever is always in the ideal position.
