This is still my favorite brake comparison article I have come across: https://blisterreview.com/gear-reviews/mtb-brake-shootout

I've wanted these brake tests to be run in the opposite format as itll be more relevant to the user. ie , run the dyno at say 200Nm and see what lever force and distance is required to stall in say 2.5 seconds. This should tell a better story as lever geometry will be considered in the results. As an end user I'm more interested in how much hand force is required rather than comparing max figures. Does the lever swing 10 or 25mm? These factors contribute more to ride feel and use.

I don't know shit about numbers but, I'm really impressed so far. I build mine out of some mt5 calipers and SLX levers, to keep it relatively low cost. First impressions where like "holly f**k!! ". I always loved the on-off fell of my 4 piston SLX with Galfer pro pads, that's why I decided to try these setup over the Formula Cura 4s (also with Galfer pads),which had great modilation but I felt like I had to pull very hard to achieve that instant power. My Shiguras have practically double the power even with stock Magura pads which I...

I was curious also. Here is a speculative guess based on the newer enduromtb test. We know the input force is the same, so the fluid pressure is very useful. Mt7: 42.7bar; XT: 55.7bar. XT/Mt7 can produce 55.7/42.7 = 1.30 times the oil pressure of the mt7. Using a XT/mt7 setup then should produce about 1.3*216Nm (sinter green pads) = about 281Nm. More than Trickstuff... (This is assuming linearity of friction force vs Clamping force and ignoring the effects of increased heat) I also made some longer levers for shimano brakes that are 30% longer, so either you can pull...

Let's start with some screenshots taken from a few brake tests of Enduro mtb magazine, dyno numbers, and overall performance on the dyno, tests are from 2016-18-24, not sure how the same brakes have different results, see hope tech 3 making 73nm with the same lever force, and 102 on another test, plus, MT7 in 2018 making 99nm and 195nm in the latest test, what changed? the lever force used is the same on all tests, 40nm or 4kg on the blade, i'd be curious to know... not to create any more derailments on the tech group i figured let's...

Always funny when pro athletes describe their aluminum frame as a performance advantage. They need to get in touch with the marketing dept so they can discover what they're feeling is wrong.

I have just noticed something. Of lately most brands would post the announcement of their latest e-bikes here at Vital MTB but never at PB except as ads decorating their webpage. I wonder why. Is it because of the fear of backlash by the comments there?

It is, XC going in the right direction. Tracks that require mtb skill, the right tire choice, full suspension and knowing how to use a dropper post will help. When push comes to shove the stronger rider will come out on top but they have to get down these technical sections.
