"SRAM Unveils Most Powerful Maven Brakes with Mineral-Oil Technology"
SRAM has introduced the Maven, its most powerful disc brake designed for downhill, enduro, and eMTB riders, claiming a 50% increase in power over its current downhill-oriented offering, the Code. The Maven uses mineral oil, features a new pad design, and offers longer service intervals compared to DOT fluid counterparts. The new caliper has more bolts, larger pads, and four large-diameter pistons to reduce power loss and manage extreme temperatures. The Maven brake should only need a full bleed and oil change every two years, and comes in four different models with prices ranging from £200 / $185 to £599 / $599.
