Overview

DB8 Stealth is SRAM's simple, robust Heavy Duty brake with Code-like power and a stealth lever body – €148 per brake.

The DB family is SRAM's simple, robust and powerful Heavy Duty brake line for riders who prefer to set and forget, using a low-maintenance mineral oil system and Code-like power from a caliper architecture shared with Code (uses existing Code/SRAM Large pads).

SRAM groups its mountain brakes into Heavy Duty (four-piston brakes with set-it-and-forget-it simplicity: Motive and DB) and Extreme Duty (Maven, the most progressive power for gravity and heavy braking). All use SRAM's proprietary seals with mineral oil co-developed with Maxima, and work with 160, 180, 200 and 220 mm rotors in 6-bolt and Centerlock.

  • Code-like heavy-duty power
  • Stealth lever with hose parallel to the bar
  • Mineral oil, low maintenance
  • Uses existing Code pads
  • Tooled reach adjust
