Engineered specifically for SRAM's high-output Maven calipers, Galfer disc brake pads elevate your bike's stopping potential across demanding gravity, enduro, and e-MTB riding. Utilizing Galfer's advanced organic semi-metallic compounds, these pads provide a progressive lever feel with powerful initial bite and exceptional modulation. By optimizing friction efficiency and reducing heat transfer to the caliper, they prevent brake fade on long, steep descents while protecting rotors from premature wear.
Available in a range of application-specific compounds—including Standard (G1053) for all-around trail riding, Advanced (G1851) for wet and muddy conditions, Pro (G1554T) for race-day bite, and E-Bike (G1652) for heavy-duty heat resistance—Galfer ensures you can tailor your SRAM Maven brakes precisely to your terrain and riding style.
Custom SRAM Maven Fitment: Precision-cut backplates designed specifically to integrate seamlessly into SRAM Maven 4-piston calipers.
Organic Semi-Metallic Compounds: Formulated to deliver high-friction stopping power, low brake noise, and minimal rotor wear.
Superior Thermal Management: Dissipates heat rapidly under heavy braking loads to eliminate lever fade and maintain consistent power.
Caliper Compatibility: SRAM Maven 4-Piston Calipers (FD575 / FD757 shape)
Compound Options: Standard (G1053), Advanced Wet (G1851), Pro Race (G1554T), E-Bike (G1652)
Backplate Material: Steel
Country of Manufacture: Spain
✅ Max-Power Downhill & Enduro: Maximizes the raw stopping force of SRAM Maven brakes on technical descents.
✅ Noise-Free Operation: Organic semi-metallic formulation provides quiet, vibration-free braking compared to harsh metallic pads.
✅ Compound Customisation: Allows you to match pad friction characteristics precisely to your local soil, weather, or e-MTB setup.
❌ Non-Maven SRAM Calipers: Custom oversized Maven pad shape is incompatible with SRAM Code, Guide, Level, or Mineral Oil DB8 calipers.
❌ Ultra-Long Wear Focus: High-friction organic compounds offer better initial bite and less noise but may wear faster than fully sintered metallic pads in extreme grit.
❌ Casual Light-Duty XC: Tailored for high-energy gravity and e-MTB riding; overpowered for light cross-country setups.
When installing new Galfer pads on your SRAM Maven calipers, take five minutes to properly bed them in before hitting steep trails! Perform 20 to 25 moderate stops from ~20 km/h down to a walking pace without coming to a complete standstill. This transfers an even micro-layer of compound material onto the rotor surface, ensuring maximum stopping power, zero squeal, and extended pad lifespan from your very first ride.
