MT5 HC Disc Brake

A hydraulic brake system uses fluid to transfer force from the brake lever to the brake caliper. This allows for more precise and powerful braking compared to mechanical systems. When you pull the lever, hydraulic fluid moves through hoses to apply pressure to the brake pads, giving you better control and stopping power, especially on steep descents or technical trails.

The caliper is essential in a disc brake system as it houses the brake pads and pistons. A well-designed caliper can enhance braking performance by ensuring even pressure distribution across the brake pads. This means smoother and more effective stopping power, which is crucial for safety and control while riding.

A monobloc caliper is made from a single piece of material, which enhances its strength and reduces weight. This design leads to improved durability and performance, as it minimizes the risk of failure and provides a more consistent braking feel. If you're looking for high-performance braking, a monobloc caliper is a great choice.

A quad piston caliper features four pistons that apply pressure to the brake pads, allowing for more even force distribution. This results in better braking performance, especially in demanding conditions. If you ride aggressively or on challenging terrain, a quad piston caliper can provide the stopping power and control you need.

Carbotecture is a proprietary material that combines carbon fiber with other materials to create lightweight yet strong components. Using Carbotecture in your bike parts enhances durability while keeping the weight low, which is essential for high-performance biking. This means you can enjoy a more responsive ride without sacrificing strength.

Advanced braking technologies like hydraulic systems, monobloc calipers, quad pistons, and Carbotecture materials work together to provide superior stopping power, control, and durability. These features ensure that you can stop quickly and safely in various conditions, giving you confidence on the trails and enhancing your overall biking experience.
