The SRAM Maven Disc Brake Pads have a unique XL pad shape and are available in two compounds, each with their own distinct characteristics.Organic brake pads are great if you are wanting a strong initial bite feel, and less overall noise. They offer the best performance in drier conditions.Sintered brake pads are great if you are looking for the most resistance to sustained heat. They also offer better performance in wet or muddy conditions.Choose from Organic & Sintered from the drop down.TO BEAT HEAT, HARNESS HEAT.The common misconception is that heat is a brake’s worst enemy. The fact is, heat is essential. For a brake to be powerful and consistent, it must retain enough heat in the system but avoid quick fluctuations between hot and cold. It’s an art. An art where Maven shines.SMART THERMAL MASSMaven calipers provide greater performance consistency by maintaining optimal operating temperatures for longer durations. Built for greater thermal mass, they take longer to heat up, keep excess heat at bay, yet retain optimal heat so as to not cool down too fast. When the caliper avoids the peaks and valleys of hot and cold, consistency of performance reaches totallynew levels.IT STARTS WITH THE SEALSIn the caliper, Maven’s piston seals use a proprietary material that retains its properties to maintain air-tight sealing regardless of extreme braking heat or low atmospheric temperatures.These remarkable heat-tolerant seals also enable Maven to overcome the past weakness associated with mineral oil, and use mineral oil for its advantages. Take on the most extreme terrain and longest descents with consistent feel, run after run, ride after ride.
