Product Information

Full details

The SRAM Maven Silver Stealth Disc Brake is designed for aggressive mountain bikers and downhill racers who demand superior stopping power and heat management in the most challenging terrains. By utilizing massive 18 and 19.5-millimeter pistons, this system delivers 50% more power than the Code series, providing consistent, reliable braking for high-speed riding. While it offers unmatched performance, users should note that rotors are sold separately and the system requires specific SRAM Mineral Oil for maintenance.

FAQs

Can I use DOT fluid with these brakes?

No. The SRAM Maven series is designed specifically for SRAM Mineral Oil. Using DOT fluid will damage the seals and void the warranty.

Are the rotors included with the brake?

No, the rotors are sold separately.

What is the main difference between Code and Maven?

The Maven series uses larger pistons, providing 50% more power and better heat management than the Code series.

Do I need special tools to adjust the reach?

No, the Maven Silver features tool-free reach and contact point adjustments.

What type of brake pads come pre-installed?

The brakes come with organic brake pads, which are designed for excellent modulation and quiet operation.

Can these be used for cross-country riding?

While technically compatible, the Maven is heavy-duty and designed for aggressive enduro and downhill riding. They may be overkill for lightweight XC setups.

Troubleshooting

Brake lever feels spongy or pulls to the bar

The system likely has air in the lines. Perform a full bleed using SRAM Mineral Oil.

Brakes are making a squealing noise

Clean the rotors with high-quality isopropyl alcohol and check if the organic pads have been contaminated by oil or grease.

Brake pads are wearing unevenly

Ensure the caliper is properly centered over the rotor and that all pistons are moving freely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • 50% more power than Code series brakes
  • Excellent heat management for long descents
  • Clean, cable-hiding Stealth lever design
  • Easy tool-free reach and contact adjustments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Maven Silver should be performed using standard hydraulic brake procedures. Ensure your bike frame and fork are compatible with post-mount calipers. Because this system uses SRAM Mineral Oil, it is critical that you do not mix it with DOT fluid braking systems, as this will destroy the internal seals.

  1. Mounting: Secure the caliper to the frame or fork using the provided hardware.
  2. Rotors: Purchase and install compatible SRAM rotors (sold separately) matching your wheel diameter.
  3. Bleeding: Use only SRAM Mineral Oil and a compatible bleed kit to remove air from the lines during initial setup or service.
  4. Burn-in: Always perform a proper bed-in procedure for new pads and rotors to ensure maximum performance and minimize noise.
