Positioned as a performance option for enduro and trail riding, the DB8 Disc Brake from SRAM is quite an impressive option to us for its simplistic design that offers serious stopping power at an entry-level price point. This is SRAM’s first Mineral Oil Braking system, and it provides 90% of the stopping power of their top-tier Code RSC disc brakes at a fraction of the cost. Why Mineral Oil? SRAM’s fluid switch means DB8 Brakes only need to be bled every other year, while all other SRAM brakes need to be bled at least once per season.
