SRAM Maven Ultimate B1 Brake Set

SRAM Maven Ultimate B1 Brake Set — Flagship Gravity Stopping Power for MTB and eMTB

The SRAM Maven Ultimate B1 sits at the top of SRAM's brake lineup, positioned above Code and built specifically for enduro, downhill, and aggressive eMTB riding where outright stopping power and heat management are non-negotiable. What separates Maven from earlier high-power gravity brakes is its ability to deliver serious power without sacrificing feel — a combination that has historically been difficult to achieve.

What It Does

• Four 18mm pistons in a rigid 4-piston caliper deliver substantial and consistent braking force
• Redesigned B1 SwingLink lever cam reduces initial breakaway force for lighter engagement and smoother, more progressive power delivery
• Addresses the "on/off" feel associated with earlier high-power SRAM gravity brakes
• Tuning range through rotor size and pad compound choice allows riders to match the system to trail conditions and riding style
• Stronger heat management compared to Code makes it well-suited to long descents and the sustained braking demands of heavy eMTBs

Real-World Notes

Available as separate Front and Rear units, allowing you to run matching Maven levers front and rear or replace one at a time. The B1 designation refers to the updated SwingLink architecture — if you are purchasing as a replacement, confirm your existing lever generation before ordering.

Why Torque Collective Stock This

eMTBs place considerably more demand on brakes than analogue bikes — greater weight, higher speeds, and longer descents all accelerate pad and rotor wear and increase heat build-up. Maven Ultimate B1's heat management and modulation improvements make it a logical upgrade or replacement choice for eMTB riders running Code or lower-tier brakes. It is also the go-to gravity brake for enduro and downhill riders who want SRAM's best. We stock it because our customers consistently ask for the most capable brake SRAM makes.
