I really hope all the " {top rider name} goes to Huffy/Schwinn/Mongoose/etc" posts end. It was no longer funny in 2015 and that's not likely to change today or the next decade.

That's a stretch. He hasn't tried TLD Ultra pants...also, We have had Brandon Semenuk for almost a decade, jeans guy, we've learned enough about denim.

Maybe because despite many people who love his custom work, Craig is an asshole and doesn’t have the ambition that Darren does?

Does monster ban other drinks from podium of the Monster Energy Supercross? Redbull gives the world the ability to watch world cup DH, without them the sport would die...so, if there is some controversy about cans of soda on the podium, I don't care, just don't piss them off! haha

Revive wins!

The Revive is definitely a great option, as we said in our Face Off. We welcome you guys to leave a review.

To summarise: Sorry our old stuff was inadequately tested and a bit crappy, but please give us your money again cos this time it's different. Rinse and repeat.... It worked for Manitou... Oh wait

We opted out of any machine testing as we wanted to keep this about the real-world experience. Yes, this introduces some tester bias but we really wanted to evaluate the brakes on the trail more than anything else. On that topic, it's equally possible to have a brake set up wrong and turn in a less meaningful score on a dyno. As for the format, in order to keep things somewhat more digestible, all our Face Off articles follow the same formula: the podium finishers get a more thorough review, while the rest of the contenders make do with a...

I am rocking the TRP G-spec's with Saint metallic pads and I am in love!! Best brakes I have had so far! Great article BTW!!

I think I would love those Forumula's. The lever looks like an old Avid Jucy that had more length than most current levers. Feels way more comfortable to me than Shimano length levers.

When a brand has so much OEM success, it can be very hard to sell parts on the aftermarket. In such cases there will always be a healthy supply of used brakes that people have taken off their bikes because they want to personalize their ride or whatever, which drives down the second hand price. As for wondering how the Code scored so high, simple answer: that's how good it is. Try one and you'll see.

As we pointed out in the article: for "those who master it the Saint could arguably rank higher – such is its outright power and capacity to stop any moving object on a dime." Going from Saint to Hope is definitely a bit of an anticlimax at first. Their power delivery could not be more different. That said, if you are a die-hard Saint fan, nothing else will do really. Ultimately, our scoring mechanism takes into account the general usability across a wide range of conditions (as well as aspects like weight and price), and there is no denying that...

I felt the same way when I first went away from Shimano brakes. It wasn't long though till I started to really see and appreciate a more linear brake feel for both racing and joy riding.

As stated in the article, we looked for DH-worthy brakes and we stopped at the six main contenders that can be easily purchased and serviced pretty much anywhere in the world. Trickstuff is still more of a niche brand, but we may get around to testing their goods as well at some point.
