SRAM put together the most successful models of hydraulic disc brakes. And made MOTIVE. What are the features of these new brakes?
Motive. Make the counterintuitive and intuitive with Motive.
Motive is the brake for today’s faster-everywhere riders that delivers the perfect combination of lightweight and serious power from race course to remote adventure. Light enough for hard-charging XC. Powerful enough for aggressive trail. You can brake later, carry more speed, and climb like you always could. Motive challenges conventions.
Born from the legacy of two of the winningest brakes ever, SRAM Motive Ultimate matches the capabilities of modern XC-race and trail bikes. Modern stealth aesthetics pair with wireless superbikes, while titanium hardware, a signature carbon lever, and a slick finish put Ultimate on top. A sculpted 4-piston caliper delivers tunable heavy-duty power for traction and control.
Opening the aperture on what’s possible gives you the boundless power of more confidence and, in the process, redefines what’s required from a low-weight brake.
Motive. New powers to go ahead.
Every ride is different, and as the requirements change, so does the tuning of your brakes. The fully loaded limited-edition Motive Expert Box is designed to provide riders with everything they need to tune their Motive Ultimate brakes for optimal brake performance. For 2025, the kit features a split caliper finish, with teal splatter ano on one half and bold black ano on the other. The lever body features the same bold black ano, while black titanium hardware and mounting bolts complete the signature look.

Modern mountain bikes have redefined what riders are capable of, pushing the requirements for extreme-duty power further than ever before. Maven is our answer to that evolution, giving you the boundless power of confidence for elevated speed and control on ever-more demanding terrain. Maven Base’s lever body houses Directlink, which translates rider input for a smooth application of power. And because of a stiff 4-bolt caliper that sheds an incredible amount of heat, that feel remains consistent, so the last corner feels like the first corner. With so much baseline power on hand, there is more range than ever before to tune the ride qualities to exactly how you want with different pad materials and rotor sizes. Maven Base features a brushed black anodized finish, and for ease of customization, it includes tool-free reach adjustment.

The lever body features the same bold black ano, while black titanium hardware and mounting bolts complete the signature look. Featuring monstrous 18 and 19.5-millimeter pistons, you’ve got nearly 50% more power than Code on hand. With so much baseline power on hand, there is more range than ever before to tune the ride qualities exactly how you want. With this in mind, the Maven Expert Box has been assembled with four HS2 rotors in three different sizes (1x 220mm, 2x 200mm, 1x 180mm) as well as both organic and sintered XL brake pads for up to 14 different tuning combinations. A custom travel bag keeps your rotors safe when in transit, and when you finally need it, the Pro Mineral Bleed kit has the tools necessary to service your brakes. Whether you land on the podium or not, the Maven Expert Box contains everything you need to find your winning combination.
Pairing heavy-duty power with a modern integrated cockpit, DB6 brakes let you focus on the ride. The low-maintenance Mineral Oil system uses an all-new lever architecture with easy adjustment access and ergonomic comfort. The right and left-specific stealth lever body design brings the hose parallel to the bar, allowing for an organized cockpit that pairs perfectly with mechanical Eagle Transmission. Consistent heavy-duty power is no surprise, as DB6 shares the same proven caliper architecture as DB8.
