Know before you buy
No, the Maven Ultimate Stealth Disc Brake does not include a rotor. You will need to purchase a compatible rotor separately based on your bike's frame and wheel requirements.
No, this system is specifically engineered for use with mineral oil. Using any other type of hydraulic fluid will damage the internal seals and void your warranty.
Yes, the lever features both reach adjustment and contact point tuning. These allow you to customize how far the lever sits from the handlebar and how much travel occurs before the pads engage the rotor.
The 2000 mm hose is designed to be cut to length during installation. It provides more than enough slack for the vast majority of mountain bike frames, including those with internal routing.
This brake comes equipped with organic brake pads. These are known for providing excellent initial bite and quiet performance in dry conditions.
This specific model is configured for the rear brake and is designed for right-hand operation.
