I like the modulation of trp brakes. I find the shimano brake lever feels like an on/off switch where the lever just hits a wall and you only have a millimeter of modulation. With my trp G-spec brakes the braking force is very linear and easy to modulate. I look forward to trying the dhr evo.
The more I seach the more it looks like TRP DHR EVO is the choice. Nice that they have the bigger rotors as well. And all this 3 years ago. Really need that power for an ebike.
Park Tools are happy to make a new Break Rotor Bender tool that is slightly wider :)
Most use an adjustable spanner.
Love the stopping grid idea.. does this imply that you guys have also been doing similar side by side test comparisons on other brakes as well.. say, Hayes Dominion A4, Shimano XTR, Sram Code RSC, Hope E4, Maxima, Magura ? Keep up the great work and vids!
only thing better on your list is Maxima, only reason. I say that is i have not tried/cut afford them. Have literally tried everything else.
Yes we actually just did another video with some Magura brakes showcasing the stopping distance changes from fresh rotors and different brake pad compounds. Give it a watch.
The Loam Wolf Awesome 👏🏼 good stuff! Curious about the Hayes dominion A4 in comparison with these higher end stoppers ✌🏼 Wondering how much of the results vary by just the Brake Vs Rotors also
What would you prefer on an ebike Drew, Magura MT7 or DHR EVO?
I prefer magura mt7 hands down. I am 95 kg
Do you find yourself in the ebike in the pnw dh runs preferring the mt7 or dhr Evo? On the fence and ready to buy
Thanks guys for your content, just picked my e-bike this year based on what I learned from your videos. But please lower the music volume, it made this video VERY hard to watch for me. I love those songs but the voice / music ratio makes it hard to focus on what's being said especially at the beginning of the video (hard rock / metal). Cheers!
Thank you for the feedback Bastien! We'll certainly take it into account for future vids and glad to hear you are enjoying your new bike.
@@TheLoamWolf I agree, I dig the tunes but its too high in the mix, really nice b roll
I'm pretty much fed up with the Code R's on my YT Decoy. I added Magura 220 Estop rotors and it made a big improvement, but I still find the brakes fading at the bottom of long descents. I may check these out.
Look, I am the furthest thing from a fan boy. Had code RSC on my stumpy Evo, hated them, listened to the internet and got magura.... big improvement, but noticed what you have. My LBS recommended TRP Dh-r 2.3 and they make the maguras feel like dried out rim brakes... do it and don't look back. Get the new 2.3 rotors, too. I can't even tell you the last time I experienced brake fade. Already ordered these "Evo" brakes for my new Enduro. Can't wait.
Can't beat TRP
Me too. I just ordered these. Hopefully I get them on by next weekend.... TRP is top quality stuff.
these will be replacing my sram code R s on my patrol whenever these decide to show up back in stock
Awesome bro👍👍
Thank you for the review. Just as a note, when every review of an MTB product is glowing, it makes it really hard to make informed decisions. The proprietary brake oil for these brakes is a bummer. The new rotor size is a bummer. These brakes sound like they're great for e-MTB downhill racers who currently fry brakes, rotors and pads and don't have enough stopping power, but that's like 0.5% of your readership, in my opinion. I love your content, but I would also love to see a bit more critical thinking go into these reviews. I personally have stopped following some MTB content channels because they only ever were super stoked on whatever thing they were looking at. I get it. We are all stoked to ride. It is refreshing, however, to hear real, critical analysis, and it will keep your followers loyal, IMO.
Hello Dave,
Thanks very much for writing in and glad to hear you are a fan. We will do better at clarifying that these "Dissected" series videos and stories are not reviews or endorsements of products, but are more of a detailed first look at a product where we work with brands to showcase the features, technology and claimed benefits of the new products. In our detailed review, which we will publish after we have more than a couple weeks on the product, we'll really get into the critiques, issues and performance evaluations. If you look through our reviews on the website, you'll see we do in fact have products that we don't love or recommend, but perhaps we don't always get the chance to make videos about them, so we appreciate the suggestion there.
Lastly, thanks for the feedback on the new rotor size and oil spec. TRP does offer standard sized rotors, so having the option to run a larger rotor is most definitely not a bummer in our opinion. Only a benefit. And we actually think a larger rotor would help beginner riders from experiencing brake fade or scorched rotors because of the improved heat management offered by the oil and larger/thicker rotors. BUT, we do appreciate you making us think... As lifers in this game, we often overlook stuff we take for granted.
Thanks again
Should I get these in Gold or should I get MT7s? I weigh 85kg and ride hard and I know the maguras have crazy stopping power but these will look amazing with my deity copper cockpit and is there really a massive difference between the two?
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
Gold TRP fo sho.
Might need to get these to replace my MT7's. Unless anyone knows of a thinner, stiffer hose I can use that will work with my Maguras? The hoses seem soft.
They’re great but I still prefer Magura mt7. They’ve just nailed it with those brakes!
Yup. Especially with hc3 levers. Never gonna use anything else again.
Thanks for the review. Having trouble finding more info on the following: Not much said about the Hayes Dominion A4, love to hear why I would NOT want them. Tired of just hearing positive reviews of some random flavor of the week brake review because somebody is just really excited and in love with how they look.
Pretty sure Maguras are out/crap levers, TRP/Hayes seems to be a Ford/Chevy deal. Just really need good "yeah I ride and hear is the no bullshit truth" about both TRP and Hayes as those are what I am looking for. Not interested in how they "modulate", don't care if they are "on or off". Had everything else, had XT's etc, so I don't need a lesson about brakes, no need for nuance.
What I want to know is can I use one finger on the lever, will they fade on a long DH and require a 2 finger death grip, and will I hate them from the arm pump that seems to be the Sram Code RSC calling card.
Not meant to piss anyone off, just tired of the vanilla generic regurgitated same buzzword descriptions that tell me nothing except that you know how to use "brake words"....ok....so some of you will be pissed off but I bet you are all wondering the same thing to I took one for the team.
This will be for a 48lb eMTB, not Amish bike so weight is the big problem. Be honest, no touchy feely words, I don't care how they look, I care how well they work so please BRING IT.
Will those 2.3 rotors work with Shimano saints?
Heck ya turp for life
I made the mistake of buying the quadiem, unfortunately the loudest brake I have ever owned. Also, the customer service isn’t there at all. Do yourself a favor and avoid these.
Sorry to hear about the trouble with the customer service, we can't comment on that, but we can say that our review of the Quadiem brakes did point out it's shortcomings, many of which have been addressed. Specifically the lack of power.
I have owned 4 pairs of quadiems, no loud noises on any of them
Loud?? Bro you're the only person ive heard having a bad experience with them
ebike certified ?
Yes. They meet the safety standards and testing for ebikes.
@@TheLoamWolf My ebike is 48 lbs. ,my Ibis is 28 lbs. If a 160 pound guy is on the ebike and a 180 lbs. guy is on the Ibis, these "ebike certified" breaks can tell the difference. Its really about marketing and sales, I get it. People are easily sold.
@@rterry2752 Don't think you do get it. Put some 2 piston brakes with 140mm rotors under a 180lb guy in Squamish BC, or a 140lb rider hauling ass on a 50lb ebike and tell us how that works out. The point is, that there are very real demand differences in equipment, not only because of the weight difference, but because of the sheer amount of mileage and vertical feet covered on ebikes which accelerates wear and tear on equipment. Can a standard Fox or Rock Shox 34mm fork get put on an ebike, yep. Sure can, just like they could under a Clydesdale class enduro racer. However, that fork is going to develop a whole lot of seal wear and play much quicker than a 140lb XC rider in Ohio.
People seem to forgot just because their local terrain may not demand something, doesn't mean other levels of riders in other terrains won't reap the benefits.
Stay tuned though, our next review is a MTB helmet with built-in tinfoil resistant to marketing rays!
@@rterry2752 PS, we appreciate your angle and thoughts. Extra skepticism keeps us on our toes.
@@TheLoamWolf There are ebike chains being sold that just have ebike put on the lable, its all marketing is my point.
He said we converted to EMTB I thought in five years you will have been the people the lead the way!!! We will all eventually be on ebikes just watch!!
No
@@lemo_manda6076 I bet your wrong see the problem with us is we think we are the only generation to be on bikes and just like every new technology that's taken hold there is rejection at first and in 10-20 years you won't find anyone not doing it like Facebook 10 years ago all the old people thought it was stupid now everyone is on Facebook trust me I'd bet a leg that more than not this tech will take over
@@lemo_manda6076 ps I own an analog bike not an ebike I sold an ebike to buy an analog bike so I am not one of those ebike riders that wanna push my beliefs on others but I do watch society and if you can show me one kid not on Instagram Facebook and snap chat id be surprised truth is whether we like it or not we will not be the majority of MTB riders in 20 years the new generation who grew up with ebikes will and for that reason every kid you know is on snap chat Instagram and Facebook because they were born with it!!! Same will be so with ebikes mark my words
@@MTBFreeks There are too many moving parts for the average joe to enjoy, I work at a shop and those ebikes are always breaking parts people cant fix.
@@user-pp5or5og4k One day you'll remember this comment.
music sucks a lot. just wonna hear content
