I currently ride a 2006 rocky mountain rmx and I am looking for a better brake than the one that I currently have (xt 4 pot, to much fade). I weigh 200 pounds and I do long dh descnets .
The two main brakes I am considering.
are the 2005 Hope Mono 6ti and the 06 Magura Gustav m.
I have already visited the site, mtbr.com and I got a lot of excellent information from it, however, I just want to make sure
that I am making the correct decision since this is a major purchase.
I know that the Hope 6ti is lighter than the Gustav and that the Hope has a floating rotor which will help offset the warping
of the rotor when it gets hot during long descents and that the modulation is bar none however, the Gustav has more stopping power
and a five year leak proof warranty, which wont help me cuz ill get second hand, still shows its a great brake .
Since both brakes are very similar in price within a couple dollars of each other, I was wondering if the Magura brake is really have more power and for longer for longer with no fade compare to the ti6.
Please help me make my decision as I want to buy these brakes so I can ride once the snow melts.
which brake will be fade free?
thanks alot
