The SRAM Maven series represents SRAM’s most powerful mountain bike brakes yet, designed to deliver significantly higher braking force with smooth, tunable control for aggressive riding and demanding terrain. Maven brakes use advanced leverage curves to build power progressively through the lever stroke, and their oversized four-piston calipers and large pads support strong, consistent stopping performance. Beyond raw power, Maven also focuses on usable control and modulation, letting riders tailor braking feel with rotor size, pad compound, and lever fit adjustments, while mineral oil and robust design help maintain performance across long descents and varied conditions.
