Lomani Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) Hello everyone! I use on my rear wheel hs33, but now I'm want to try a disc brake. Actually, a have no idea mt4 powerful for trial bike or not? Txh Edited September 3, 2021 by Lomani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Private Repress Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 I run an MT4 on the back of my giant trials team and it’s plenty powerful enough with great modulation. If you want that extra reassurance an MT5/7 will offer it. They seem to bite just that little bit more. I have a mixture of bikes, and run all three across them as rear brakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Private Repress Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 28 minutes ago, Lomani said: Txh for your answer. Which one disk you are use 180 or 203 on mt4? 180mm MT5 on the 26inch giant STP: (this has Shimano zee levers). 180mm MT4 on the 26inch giant trials team: 203mm MT trail sport on the 24inch Marino. I also run a MT7 on the rear of my 27.5inch enduro bike with a 203mm rotor. Of all the brakes, the MT trail sport is my favourite. They are sold as a pair, the front is 4 pot and the rear is 2 pot. I run them the opposite way around for more power at the rear and a lighter front end. I also run jitsie pads in the rear. Crucially though, I’m a relatively heavy lad, the mt4 on the giant trials team which I run a smaller rotor with bigger wheels works absolutely fine for me. Great modulation, lighter than a MT5/7 calliper and plenty enough bite to hold when the back wheel isn’t bang on a ledge / rail. It’s also running standard magura pads. A couple of questions to consider the answers to in helping you make a decision: 1. what type of riding are you doing? Natural, TGS or street. Or maybe a mix of all? 2. What bike are you looking to put the brake on? What size wheel? 3. If you are more than 15 stone I’d for an MT5 or 7. hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaderaMark Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 I run MT4 since 2018 and MT2 on front. So far 4 caliper adapter had been broken yet the caliper stays the same. Just using cheap metallic pads and power is massive for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaderaMark Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 go for better brake pads as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have jitsie pads on my Marino and Giant STP - these are super granny but the power fades immediately after you feather the brake, I.e doing a manual. I’d say try the standard pads and if you feel you want more bite then consider jitsie/trial tech pads (which are the same) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaderaMark Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) i am currently and been using something like chinese made brake pads. Super cheap but gives me stopping power i never expected. Started from curiousity unitl it becomes my preffered one.

THE PALLET Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 My Magura mt4's are really good. they have the ultimate stopping power and are quite low maintence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Szymon Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Which brake disc to choose for the front: HC or SL.2? Why is HC so popular? Edited November 26, 2021 by Szymon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaderaMark Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 i am on Avid G3 from 203 to 180 since most recommends smaller due to I snapped few adapters and calipers. Stopping power still good for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would seem to me that the hc has more surface area to grab, great for on off breaking, where the storm has less which is better for heat management. I run both and the difference for trials has been hardly noticeable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basstrials Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 I have MT4 with organic pads/180mm HC on front of my Giant Team and i am 85kgs.Got no problem doing endo's,would work on rear well too,I guess but never tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaderaMark Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 (edited) mine still solid... 180 rotors and cheap metallic pads Edited April 7, 2022 by MaderaMark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
