SRAM Maven Disc Brake Caliper Assembly

Yes, the SRAM Maven caliper features a universal post-mount design, meaning it is compatible with both front and rear brake positions.

No, the Maven caliper is sold as a standalone assembly. You will need to purchase a compatible rotor separately.

This caliper is designed specifically for use with mineral oil. Ensure you do not mix it with DOT fluid systems, as this will damage the seals.

The Maven caliper ships with organic brake pads, which are known for their quiet operation and strong initial bite in a variety of conditions.

While it can technically be installed on any bike with post-mount tabs, the Maven is engineered specifically for heavy-duty gravity and enduro riding. It is likely overkill for cross-country use and adds unnecessary weight.

The four-piston configuration provides significantly more surface area and clamping force compared to two-piston brakes. This results in superior stopping power and better heat management on long, steep descents.
