DB8 Disc Brake

The new DB8 disc brake is a simple, robust, and powerful brake for riders who prefer to set and forget - just grab your bike and go. 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. SRAM partnered with Maxima to create a mineral oil designed for use with the DB8 brake. Intended for hassle-free infrequent usage, this mineral oil maintains its performance over long periods of time without the need for bleeding or flushing the lines. SRAM recommends that you bleed your mineral oil brakes at least once every two years to ensure optimum braking performance versus once every year for a DOT fluid disc brake. If you ride frequently or regularly ride aggressive terrain, it is recommended to bleed your brakes more frequently.
