Used Product For 1 Month Strengths Great bite and modulation. Weaknesses None so far. Similar Products Used Hope C2/Hope Mini Review I recently fitted this to my bike and after a short bed in time, i was amazed at the sheer power of the brake, especialy for its size. The system is very light (useful for trials) and is very powerful. The lever blade feels good and the bite point is perfect for trials riding. The power is very predictable and offers a huge amount of modulation. The brake locks up very well and stays locked securely. I cant fault it.

Used Product For 1 Month Strengths great power for its size Weaknesses ?? Similar Products Used hope mini Review this brake has unbeliveable power for its size and weight. i have it on my 20 inch echo and i cant fault the thing! this is probly the most nice looking disk brake on the market with the new style of disk and the gold and black caliper. it all fits together well to give great looks and braking power.this would be my first opinion if anyone ask me what disk brake should i get, its a must have disk brake.

Used Product For 2 Years or more Strengths Modulation, Power Weaknesses Poor Bite on the rear wheel Similar Products Used Hope Mini, Hope M4, Hope C2 Review I have been riding with the Mono Mini since it first came onto the market, since then I have added some Goodridge hoses on to them which considerably change the feel of the brake to make it feel a lot more positive. The new version is neater looking than its predecessor and you can feel that there is a more solid feedback from the lever, thanks to the one piece design. I am currently running a 160mm rotor on the front and a 140mm on the rear of my Orange Zero, and mainly ride street. Although generally impressed with the feel and bite of the front brake, I don't however get the same with the rear, maybe its the small rotor size???. So maybe a tip for any wanna be purchases in the future... avoid the smaller rotors!!!

Used Product For 1 Year Strengths Good in bad weather and bad conditions Weaknesses Can overheat and suffer form brake fade Review I think this is a great brake. It has a real solid feel on the lever and extremely smooth. Although the front was amazing the back didn't feel as sharp, and not quite as powerful as the front. I think this may have been because of the rotor size? If you're thinking of getting one of these brakes then the front is a great buy, but maybe keep a hs33 on the back.
