I’ve put nearly 350 off road miles on the Maven Ultimates I installed on my 39 lb. Specialized Levo SL. Two things I really like was going from a 200 to a 180 rear rotor and a 220 to a 200 front rotor which still gave me exceptional stopping power with smaller rotors less likely to warp. The second thing was the ability to move my levers in and make them a one finger pull instead of a two finger pull. This gave me a better grip in rough terrain with more fingers doing the gripping since one finger on each lever provided plenty of pull. Took some practice during the first few rides to learn not to over pull and skid the tires. Now they feel completely natural and I will never go back to any previous models.

Nice video! I plan on putting my Maven's on my Trek session as well.

The power is incredible

Great review! I weigh 200 lbs and my e-bike is 54 lbs. Would you suggest starting with 220/200 rotors? TIA!

Probably best yea

Nice review. Does the lever feel stiffer than the codes?

@bikenetwork_SA

Well, there's less lever force required to match the Codes power. And the 'feel' / ergonomics of the lever are practically identical to the Codes

Getting them added to my enduro bike right now but with 200mm rotors .. regretting that now, maybe I should have went 180mm :(

After a couple rides you might well adjust and be fine with the bigger rotors

No cons ? many other reviewers mentioned the levers were more difficult to pull than some other brands .

I totally think these will make for more arm pump from the lever force required

I felt a set at shop and yes they feel stiff compared to my TRP DH-R and watched a review where the guy was getting arm pump because of these
