According to the product specialist
Pros
These brakes have excellent modulation and stopping power. |
The caliper has a double piston, making it extra powerful. |
The range of the brake lever is adjustable. |
The XTR M9100 brakes are designed to withstand even the most extreme situations. They offer consistent braking power even in wet or muddy conditions. |
These mtb brakes are highly modulable, meaning you can precisely dose the braking force. This is essential for controlling your mountain bike in technical situations. |
This brake set is very lightweight, making it ideal for long, mountainous rides. |
You can adjust the distance between brake lever and handlebar without tools. |
They have an advanced cooling system that helps keep the brakes cool, even during prolonged use. |
The stopping power of the Hope Tech 4 has been increased by about 30% compared to its predecessor, the Hope Tech 3 MTB brakes. |
Suitable for cross country use. Depending on rider weight + bike, see last product image. |
Made with single pistons, the X2 variant is built to be as light and compact as possible while maintaining great stopping power for flat to hilly courses. |
The position of the brake levers is manually adjustable according to personal preference, with a maximum range of 30°. |
The shape of the brake lever has been further improved to maximize comfort and control. |
These brakes provide good braking power in all conditions. |
The double pistons further increase braking power. |
Cons
The brakes are not compatible with I-Spec II or I-Spec EV shift levers. |
The modulation is not as good as with SRAM or Magura brakes. |
The X2 mtb brakes have too little braking power for enduro use. The Hope Tech 4 E4 MTB brakes are better suited for trail and enduro. |
These brakes are heavier than the XT single piston brakes. |
