Funny, you're the first one that says the lever action is actually lighter. Everyone else is complaining it's actually heavier... 🤔 Regardless, no reason for me to change my Maguras
No I do after ~200 km but it's important to sett them up the way you like. Adjustments possibilities is unlimited unlike Magura and the leavers don't break all the time😆 Magura, TRP, Hope and Shitmano is not even close to Maven quality and power 💪🏼
Very awesome brake. No arm pump or hand fatigue. They are quite powerful as I found myself trying not to lock up the rear on a few steep sections. I’m 200lbs and these brakes never faded once through a full day of shuttling.
I love these brakes. They are so good. The initial force needed to move the lever is higher but you don't need to press so hard which is where the arm pump is from. Would be a great video to show best way to setup the contact adjust. I have this on an ebike and I wouldn't mind having this on my regular trail bike. You can't have too much braking power.
Hi! Do you find initial lever stroke to be any harder than Code one? Many reviews were mentioning that these model can actually increase fatigue in some cases due to that 🤔
Hello - my quick answer is no, I wouldn't agree with that at all and I've been riding them a heap now. My longer answer would be; I too have watched one particular review where the rider was complaining of that and even conducted a 'test' which I found very dubious and actually misleading. Whilst the initial force on the lever to get the Maven's into their stroke does maybe have some resistance, although it feels exactly the same or no different to any other SRAM brake lever, the claim that SRAM make about the Maven's requiring 30% less force to get to the braking point relates to the amount of force that you have to pull on that lever throughout the entire stroke in order get the brake to pull up. It's not the initial part to get the lever moving. Arm pump doesn't come from the first 1mm of lever stroke, it comes from the repetition fatigue of having to reef on those levers all the way to the bitting point and then beyond in order for the brakes to slow the rider down as much as required. That's what I found anyways.
@@revolutionmountainbike What was misleading about the test? It did show that the Mavens require more relative force to get the lever to move did it not?
SRAM Maven: 600-700$ yeeeeeeah. NO thanks. prices straight outta america. They often forget that the rest of the world does NOT have such huge salary then americans... The average salary is 12-24000/year.(Lots of countries even BELOW that.) American average salary is 80-120k/year. This is where the problem of current premium prices are. But you simply cant charge the same amount in every country but the manufactorers simply dont care. (Most of them are US located/based)
these premium items are only really made to rob the high salaries from stupid consumers though. Plenty of equally powerful and great items to be had at a fraction of the price

The lever feels like you are pulling on a heavier spring thean those in the codes.

This just feels like an advert
Could it be because it is? Pretty much the purpose of channels like this.
@@MasterBlaster69 hmmmmmmmm
but TRP are still better though ...
Are they? Why? Pretty arrogant comment. Plenty would say Saints or Hayes Dominion are better. Maybe get your head out of your Ass
Brakes are a pretty subjective topic

@@Coerced Maguras for example 😎
@@Coerced yes yes, they are so dumb, that's why they having high salaries lol
