Hayes Brakes Releases PRIME Poppet Cam Technology

Remember those blurry pixels masking part of the new Hayes PRIME Brakes?  Well they've just unmasked the secret "poppet cam" technology for the world to see...

Hayes Brakes Releases PRIME Poppet Cam TechnologyThe poppet cam essentially allows instant, on-the-fly customization to how the brake feels, by allowing the user to change the "stroke" or "throw" of the lever.  This is achieved by simply turning a dial with your thumb.  Between the top hat adjustment and the poppet cam, you'll be able to set the start and stop points of your brakes with ease.  This is the only brake to offer this adjustment - can you say great feeling brakes?

Hayes claims that the cam allows for higher flows and increased durability.

Check out the Hayes PRIME website for more details, videos, and tech specs.  Be sure to watch the video at the bottom right of their site.

    These brakes look good, hopefully they won't cost a small fortune in the translation from Dollars to English Pounds.
