SRAM Maven Brakes Explained + First Review

preview_player
Показать описание
The all new SRAM Maven brakes are the most powerful stoppers ever made by SRAM. The SRAM Code brakes aren't going anywhere, but the Mavens are the newest model aimed at gravity-focused riding segments like enduro, DH and full size eMTB's where riders need all of the stopping power they can get. The Mavens are also the first high-performance brakes from SRAM that use mineral oil instead of DOT fluid, which is a big deal all in its own!

In this video, Mike and Tor present all of the new tech and features of SRAM’s massive stoppers and share an initial review of their experience on the trails. They also compare the differences between the different models of Maven brakes, which are the Maven Ultimate, Maven Silver and Maven Bronze. We even offer some quick comparisons to other popular brakes like the TRP DHR EVO, Hayes Dominion, Magura MT7 and Hope Tech 4 V4.

Drinking game idea: Take a shot every time we pull out the air quotes! And if you drink enough to want some new brakes, hit our website at thelostco.com to order yours 😀

Wow, I love how they made all of the related tools unusable and even made their "special" mineral oil. It's so amazing to have even more starndarts in cycling now!

Probably the best vid on YouTube about the Mavin's. Well done lads👏

Good to see they're changing the hose angle out of the lever.

Just ordered the Ultimate LTD Kit from you guys and can’t wait for a brake stronger than my Code RSC’s to stop my 290lb mass. Keep up the great content.

SRAM finally admits mineral oil was the way to go. That’s a good thing because I may consider SRAM again for future build

Great video, I had to update my Levo to MT 7's as the Codes where scary at times. Glad that they have come up with a brake that will slow down an E Bike.

I've been looking at these mineral oil levers with the RSC adjustment for a while on pro vlogs... FINALLY

Agreed! My Stumpjumper EVO came with Code R’s…it now has XT’s. I prefer the feeling/modulation of the Shimano’s better. Good review. Nice to see SRAM improving their brakes

I have brand new db8's and they are insanely good but still I am watching this video because of incredible quality and delivery. Also for the whole vibe!

Maven was best when he knocked out The Undertaker during the Royal Rumble. His channel is lit. Are the brakes Tough Enough?

You excluded the Formula Cura 4, it has 4 18mm pistons! You should take a look a thise. They are using mineral oil with plenty of power (~Saint/MT7 level) with great modulation. Be sure to take a look at their 2PCS levers with tool free reach and contact point adjustments. I'm no ambassador just a guy who loves Formula's works of art. :)

Great video gents. Good explanation around disc size vs brake performance and heat. Just be careful in the commentary around bigger discs giving more braking power. Bigger discs are better at dissipating heat, not at increasing braking power. It's simple physics.
Keep up the videos!

Nice! Thinking of running these on my Surron with Hope floating disc 220's and MTX red racing pads.
