Depends what you want. I find for tricks specifically manuals/wheelies the SRAM has slightly better modulation. But for downhill/trails if you want instant bite, the Shimano's win.
Hi, great video! Would saints work on a 180 mm rotor on the rear? My bike is currently set up with a 203 mm and 180 mm front and rear but I wanted to buy some saints. Would I need to get a 203 for the rear as well for it to work?
yes I got 180 on the rear, think shimano rt86 with saints and its crazy.. i think guy in video did a bit bad job during mounting brakes because new bleeded brales with new pads shouldnt squeal.. definitely saint are amazing brakes, pretty sharp and u have no problem to ride all day long without any heating problem or anything else
My first 3 bikes had Shimano brakes and gears and had no problems, then I sold 2 bikes and got a brand new bike with full sram and didn't like the brake feel much and had issues with shifting that could never be resolved. Recently I built up a gravel bike with full sram again to give it another shot and the same thing, the brakes have not much bite, and the gears just are not a crisp at shifting as my shimano bike. So currently I have 4 bikes, I don't plan on upgrading for years down the track, but if I do I will make sure I get shimano kit
I had the e4 model witch is considered the trail/enduro model. I find the saints to have a lot more power. I like the adjustability of the hopes but starting to get use to the feel of the saints
Thanks for watching, would love if you could leave a like 👍
Can this Saint be used for trail & downcountry MTBs? Thanks in advance!

My first brakes were Shimano SLX M7000, now I've got Hope Tech 3
Hey mate. Do you have the reference of the adapter PM you used for the brakes ? Thanks

I saw a comment about you replacing hope brakes for the saints. I have hope brakes right now, How do they Compare to the saints?

I Just Bought A Set Of Saints With my 203s They are Awesome . Make Me Ride Better 😎
Nice looking set up? Did you sell the Hopes? What size is the Pole? Looks huge!
Yes I sold the hopes. The pole is a size medium.
sounds like your dads brakes are contaminated
Codes rsc or Saints?
thinking of upgrade my calipers on my sram Rs
I would say Saints have more power but rsc’s have better adjustment and depending on what you like feel could be better.
Heading to horseshoe on the long weekend!
