Hope Technology M4 Evo Hydraulic Disc Brake

(discontinued)

Had mine for a year and a half, they've been on 2 bikes and I absolutely love them. I haven't run that many brakes myself but they have felt a lot better than anything I've felt on other bikes, including formula, avid and hayes.

Stopping power is just what you need, lacks a bit when things start to get heated and steep and fast, the goodridge braided hoses did help with this. I also reccomend using Ice Tec rotors :)

The feel is solid, and the modulation is brilliant, and the asjustments actually make a lot of difference.

Bleeding is very simple but can be hard to get spot on. Also they're very easy to take apart and replace parts :)
