Overview
Maven Bronze is the entry point to the latest Maven Extreme Duty family, with four 18 mm pistons, SwingLink and a forged lever blade.
Maven is SRAM's Extreme Duty brake family – according to SRAM, the benchmark of power for modern riders on ever-more demanding terrain, with a stiff 4-bolt, 4-piston caliper that manages heat so the last corner feels like the first. SRAM says Maven is easily tuneable across gravity, E-MTB, enduro and trail bikes.
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.
