Mongooser Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 want to buy myself a new front brake, avid isn't cutting itwhen blasting down a hill at 40kms you cant even pop a stoppie and hold it for 2cmstupid brake groans and feels like the lever will explode, I don't give a dam if its hope or magura, 4 pot guide, no shimano because they lack sensitivity and feel for the bike Just want to know what i should get that will lock up at 50-40kms? Please give your experiences with decent powerful brake just for my front end I did once borrow a 4 pot hope tech v4 and that thing locked up with a tap of the finger and had a good feel for the bikeAlthough 2k is a bit much new and no one will sell me a second hand one...
Mongooser Posted September 23, 2017 Author Posted September 23, 2017 It sounds like you need this I actually looked into a pitbikes bikes front brake onceonly problem was the dam lever size will look way to funny
Skylark Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 If you can get brand new Hope Tech v4 for R2k a side I would snap them up because that I'd a good price!

Kalahari Vegmot Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 I'm assuming you're already running 203/210mm rotors?

These the end ! More Power & modulation than most of us can ever use. They are the best brakes ever full stop.

Skylark Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 These the end !More Power & modulation than most of us can ever use. They are the best brakes ever full stop. I don't know about the newer Tech brakes but the lever on that range is a bit iffy, I had X2's and eventually went back to Shimano because of the awesome lever, and I quite like the feel of Servowave... and being able to buy pads off eBay for R30 a pair vs R400 odd at the lbs for Hope X2 pads because no one makes generic X2 that I could find. That being said the 4 pot Tech brakes can use the older XT shimano type brake pads?
Kranswurm Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Hopes E4.The new Magura mt5 or mt7 and the sram guide series. All 4 pot.I have the Guide RSCs which are unbelievable
