The SRAM Maven Silver 4-Piston Disc Brakes (DB-MVN-SLV-B1) completely reset the benchmark for absolute stopping force. Delivering roughly 50% more power than the legendary Code platform, it transforms raw strength into uncompromising control on the most demanding enduro and downhill terrain. That control begins at the lever, where a refined SwingLink architecture to deliver a smooth, progressive bite that drastically reduces arm pump and hand fatigue. At the wheel, the incredibly stiff 4-bolt caliper acts as a massive thermal heat sink. This superior heat management ensures your brake feel remains absolutely consistent, meaning the final corner of a massive descent feels exactly like the first. Because this baseline power is so exceptionally high, you have unprecedented freedom to tune your exact ride feel simply by downsizing rotors or swapping XL pad compounds. For riders seeking workhorse reliability, the Maven Bronze tier packages this gravity-defying architecture in a sleek, black anodized finish, complete with tool-free Reach Adjust for instant ergonomic customization.
What is different between SRAM Maven A1 and B1 brakes?
The updated SRAM Maven B1 models have a few small but impactful changes from the already impressive Maven A1 series. There are three primary updates:
- Maven B1 levers have updated lever blades and a re-tuned SwingLink delivering smoother power and enhancing modulation while reducing hand fatigue.
- Maven B1 calipers have 4x 18mm pistons (instead of 2x 18mm and 2x19.5mm found on Maven A1). SRAM reduced the hydraulic ratio slightly because the re-tuned SwingLink increases your mechanical ratio slightly. These cancel each other out and the power between A1 and B1 remains the same.
- Finishes have been updated on Maven ULT, SLV and BRZ. Maven ULT also now features a carbon lever blade.
