SRAM DB8 Mineral Oil Disc Brake – Simple, Powerful Braking for MTB Cycling
Unleash confident stopping power with the SRAM DB8 A1 Disc Brake, the ultimate solution for riders seeking robust performance with minimal fuss. Engineered for the demands of modern MTB Cycling, the DB8 is SRAM´s first foray into a mineral oil-based hydraulic disc brake system, delivering a user-friendly experience without sacrificing the power and control SRAM is known for. This brake is a true workhorse, designed to perform consistently on every ride, from your local trails to challenging bike park descents.
DB8 is our simple, robust, and powerful brake for riders who prefer to set and forget.
The low maintenance Mineral Oil system uses proven lever technologies and features easy adjustment access and superior ergonomic comfort.
Code-like power is no surprise, as DB8 utilizes similar caliper architecture and existing brake pads.
Unmatched Power & Low Maintenance
Experience braking power that inspires confidence on the steepest and most technical terrain. The DB8 caliper features a stiff, 4-piston architecture derived directly from SRAM´s gravity-proven Code brakes. This design provides incredible braking force, excellent heat management, and a consistent feel, making it the perfect choice for aggressive trail riding, enduro, and the added demands of e-MTBs. The switch to mineral oil not only offers a different lever feel preferred by many but also simplifies maintenance, requiring less frequent bleeds and offering a more forgiving service process. Spend less time in the workshop and more time shredding the trails.
Ergonomic Control & Precision
A powerful brake is nothing without control. The DB8 lever assembly is designed for superior ergonomics and intuitive operation. The proven lever blade shape feels comfortable and secure in your hands, even on long, rough descents. With easy-to-access Tooled Reach Adjust, you can customize the lever´s starting position to perfectly match your hand size and riding preference. This level of adjustability allows you to modulate your braking force with incredible accuracy, giving you the ability to apply stopping power with almost tweezer-like precision through tight switchbacks and technical rock gardens. This is the Disc Brake that offers a direct and connected feel to the trail.
