Sram Maven Ultimate B1 Front Disc Brake 2026

SRAM Maven Ultimate – The New Benchmark for Absolute Power
The Maven Ultimate isn’t just a brake; it’s the most powerful braking system ever designed by SRAM. Delivering nearly 50% more power than the Code model, the Maven redefines the limits of what’s possible in downhill, aggressive Enduro, and E-MTB.

More than just brute force, the Maven Ultimate offers surgical control and revolutionary thermal management, ensuring your last corner is as precise as your first.

Progressive and Effortless Power
Thanks to the redesigned SwingLink™ architecture, the Maven provides a smoother and more intuitive lever feel. The hydraulic ratio has been optimized to work with four massive 18 mm pistons, guaranteeing colossal power with minimal finger pressure, drastically reducing hand fatigue.

Thermal Management and Total Consistency
The enemy of braking isn’t heat, but temperature fluctuations. The Maven shines in its ability to maintain an optimal temperature:

• Smart Thermal Mass: The caliper is designed to heat up progressively and retain that heat to avoid thermal shocks, ensuring consistent performance from the top to the bottom of the mountain.
• 4-Bolt Caliper: This ultra-rigid structure minimizes flex for lossless power transmission and an ultra-firm lever feel.
• High-Resistance Seals: Using Maxima mineral oil, the new SRAM seals maintain a perfect seal even under the most extreme thermal stress.

The Pinnacle of the "Ultimate" Finish
The Ultimate version is the flagship of the range, designed for the most prestigious bikes:

• Lightness and Luxury: Carbon lever mounted on bearings and full titanium hardware.
• Custom Adjustments: Tool-free Reach Adjust and Contact Point Adjust for tailor-made ergonomics.
• Stealth Design: A sleek look that brings the lever closer to the handlebar for modern aesthetics and better cable integration.
