First images of new SRAM brakes for XCO

Just a few hours before one of the most important XCO events of the season begins in Chelva, some of the best XCO teams have already had the opportunity to ride on the circuit. And it was there where we saw for the first time the new SRAM Motive brakes. Everything points to it being a new model for XCO.

New SRAM Motive brakes for XCO

For now, we only have the information that we can extract from the images, but due to its design and overlaid name, there are few doubts that we are facing a new model of SRAM brakes for XCO.

At the beginning of 2023, SRAM presented the current Stealth, Level, and Code range, for XCO and although it might be early for the presentation of a new model, the truth is that the caliper of the SRAM Motive seems completely new and larger.

Could it be a model with mineral oil? Impossible to know for now, but it would certainly be a surprise for many considering that the current system with synthetic oil works well, with its pros and cons, and is one of the characteristics of SRAM.
