What are the best disk brakes?

Can’t fault my Avid Elixir 9s.

Juicys here.. 5’s on my dh rig, which has been all round the Alps, and raced at Whistler, never had any probs with boiling / fade / power

Ultimates on my xc rig, one set of lever piston seals (£11) over 3 years.

Always use dot 4, replace the fluid once every 6 months or so..

And get the equivalent heat performance by buying 30 quid finned pads every few months and expensive icetech rotors which you can melt on an Alpine descent because they use aluminium core rotors.

Really? Has anyone melted the rotors in the alps? I know a german magazine did on a dyno, which isn’t too surprising, but in real life?

Formula R1 Racing are the most expensive I can find, so they’re probably the very best that are available at the moment.

Incorrect – MT8’s are more expensive….they’re also shite, as in properly shite….don’t bother

Formula – Rx’s are good, R1’s or The ones are amazing. Expensive but h’amazin….
