MphatiPyga Posted August 1, 2019 Share I cannot subscribe to the concept that overkill is not acceptable. Overkill and overdo should be the norm and the standard. Anything that is not overdone (except beef) is not done to a sufficient level. As stated previously, 4 piston cool. 6 pistons; when do we get them? 8 pistons should be mandatory.I have a friend who would beg to differ when he used his Saints as panic levers in the air and landed with non spinning wheels which resulted in a nasty OTB and injuries. But then again he wasn’t used to so much power in his hands Traveler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilipV Posted August 1, 2019 Share Hope have made 6 pot brakes and mentioned last year with 29er Dh bikes they are discussing the possibility of starting to prototype again with a modern 6 pot hope brake Unfortunately I haven't seen anything related to this from them againI see bigger rotors, 6pot brakes, and integrated heatsinks in the future. The heat sinks will be something that form part of the caliper or mount. But then again, how long before the slave pistons and braking surface gets bigger (they are pretty narrow now) to increase power again? Or will that be increased power at the cost of modulation? What a time to be alive! Edited August 1, 2019 by PhilipV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jehosefat Posted August 2, 2019 Share I cannot subscribe to the concept that overkill is not acceptable. Overkill and overdo should be the norm and the standard. Anything that is not overdone (except beef) is not done to a sufficient level. Agreed.

MajG Posted October 9, 2021 Share Thread revival here. Sram guides RS or Formula cura 4 pots or anything on same or better level, inputs please. I can't find shimano 4 pots in my budget I have read up so much on these, even shimano and do many mix reviews. Looking good bite, modulation and not needed being bled every 2months. R5000 budget Will be running 200 rotors front 180 back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackheart Posted October 9, 2021 Share I've used them all. Cura's have stayed on my bikes for the past 2 years. Would not consider anything else now. MajG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertWhitehead Posted October 9, 2021 Share If you bleed the brakes properly 2 piston pots are just as strong and effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V18 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Very impressed with cura 2 pots. And I'm heavy. More power and modulation than my previous fancy hope tech3 e4s. Only look a bit bland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
