Sram Guide RE brakes pack a surprising punch, originally designed for E-bikes we've had great success with them on trail and Enduro bikes. The brakes have a guide lever but a Code calliper, keeping the weight down a little but still offering plenty of power! This along with some other strategic decisions give this bike some serious performance that far outweighs it's price tag.
