SRAM MAVEN EXPERT BRAKE KIT

the hub

Just ahead of Red Bull Hardline Maydena, SRAM upped the ante in the brake game, releasing the Maven - the new expert of brakes. SRAM’s new 4-piston brake is touted to the most powerful brake that SRAM have made, with 50% more power than SRAM’s own Code, which is already a very capable brake. But that’s not to say it’s all power without control. They also state that modulation is impressive as well. The Maven is a big and meaty caliper (366g), a world apart from the slim-line 4-piston calipers you see that are designed to shed weight and heat. The Maven is designed to use the heat of a brake system (to an extent) and the huge caliper houses big, meaty pistons for flex free braking.
