Sram Brake Maven - Base

SRAM Maven Base Hydraulic Disc Brake (Diffusion Black)

Designed for mountain bikers who demand dependable braking on technical trails, the SRAM Maven Base delivers strong, consistent stopping power with effortless control. Built to handle the rigours of modern MTB riding, this brake ensures confidence on fast descents, tight corners, and challenging terrain.

Smooth Power, Maximum Control

The Maven Base features DirectLink technology in the lever body, translating your input into a smooth and responsive brake feel. Combined with a stiff 4-piston caliper, this system provides consistent braking performance and excellent heat management, so stopping power remains stable from the first turn to the last.
