Disc brakes on mountain bikes are now almost a must for better braking and compared to the old rim brakes made of rubber, disc brakes are a quantum leap forward.

They are quieter than rim brakes, stop faster and handle heat MANY TIMES better than rubber rim brakes which will literally burn up on a downhill race.

EBC make three compounds for MTB disc brake systems and also a variety of high quality heat treated stainless steel brake rotor oversize kits for Mountain Bikes.
