Date Reviewed: December 12, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | South Ridge Idlewild | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Price Paid: |
$175.00 | | Purchased At: | cyco path | | Strengths: | Very durable, held up on crashes, stopping was consistent, bled and fluid was still clean | | Similar Products Used: | avid bb7s | | Bike Setup: | Intense spider xvp, spinergy, bontrager | | Bottom Line: | Hayes brakes are a good bang for your buck. They are simple to repair, replace pads and find parts for. They last along time and are hard to get rid of. They are like Chevys, you can find rebuild parts almost any where and aren't super expensive. Like everything else product knowlege is key to peak performance. I chose Hayes becasue of there reliabilty, not to mention my hfx 9s are still working good with many miles and no rebuilds yet. Bleed them, change the pads according to riding conditions and you will have a good experience this product. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: July 30, 2007 | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Purchased At: | House of Bicycles | | Strengths: | I have the 8"/6" set up and it stops a 38 lb bike great. nosewheelies at speed are no problem. and it stops better than any other disc brake single piston type set up around. dependable and easy to set up a bit of a chore to bleed. quality feel throughout these will make you hit the trail a little faster with your new stopping ability | | Weaknesses: | a bit bulky looking for my tastes. other than that i think they ARE superior to every comparable brake system. | | Similar Products Used: | avid juicys,hopes,hayes nines,mech disc,vs ect. | | Bike Setup: | 06 opie. Fox 32 vanilla rlc,maxxis,sun,hope hubs,raceface crank set,SRAM not 1 thing from shimano, and thats the way we like it.eh! | | Bottom Line: | if you are willing to commit to hyd disc brakes, the bleeding and such and are not going 40-60 mph downhill buy these. I am pleased and if they broke id replace them with the same,but those hopes look soooo goodI dont know..... | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: May 31, 2007 | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Purchased At: | came with my bike | | Strengths: | solid, easy setup | | Weaknesses: | fading is an issue | | Similar Products Used: | Juicy | | Bike Setup: | mod. Coiler DeeLux | | Bottom Line: | fairly good for XC/ trail riding. But for anything more biased on FR, their lack of power and tendency to fading becomes an issue. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: May 20, 2007 | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Strengths: | slowing down. rear seems to be fine | | Weaknesses: | have had them "go out" once in the front, the front rubs with rotor, has been fixed. stoping power is not impressive. Skweaks in front often. | | Bike Setup: | trek fuel 90 | | Bottom Line: | do not expect these to be miricle disc brakes, im not impressed with these, and have used many others. make sure you have the sintered brake pads, the semis are too soft. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: February 25, 2007 | | Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years | | Strengths: | decent power | | Weaknesses: | lack of modulation; terrible to bleed when the need arises, and it does frequently. | | Similar Products Used: | shimano xtr, avid bb7, avid juicy 7 | | Bike Setup: | 2006 salsa dos niner; they were on a kona before that | | Bottom Line: | these brakes have ok power, but compared to current class-leading products like the avid juicy and shimano xtr disc brakes, they lack modulation and feel, and the sequence to bleed the brakes just about requires three hands, and can turn out to be a nighmare with dot brake fluid everywhere.
in fact, i wasn't really swayed to do an online review of these brakes until the nightmare bleed session i'm in the middle of right now. hayes' "bleed kit" is a big POS. i wrenched at a shop for 7 years, and have bled many disc brakes (both motorcycle and bicycle), and these are by far the worst brakes to bleed ever. ity's virtually impossible to get all the air out of the system. you should see how much dot fluid is on the floor of my bike room right now!!
i can honestly say that it'll be a long, long time before i again spend money on a hayes brake product. they basically suck compared to just about everything else out there in 2007. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: January 27, 2007 | | Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years | | Purchased At: | came with bike | | Strengths: | Good stopping power with V7/V8 rotors. Very reliable and easy to service. | | Weaknesses: | Lacks modulation. Tends to rub the rotor, lack of caliper adjustability. | | Similar Products Used: | Magura Marta, Hayes Mag HD & Mag Plus | | Bike Setup: | heavily upgraded Kona Coiler | | Bottom Line: | These brakes tends to give an on/off feel, i.e. lack modulation, general XC/trail riding. However, for freeride or downhill riding the stopping power is great. They have held up to many seasons of heavy use. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: September 17, 2006 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$130.00 | | Purchased At: | Blue Sky Cycling | | Strengths: | great power, modulation, this are my first hydraulics and work way better than mechanical disc brakes | | Weaknesses: | when I handed them to my LBS to get them installed on my bike, they noticed that the bleed screws were missing(BSC sent them right away) so it took like a week to get those screews to me. away from that, the brakes dont have any. | | Similar Products Used: | Shimano Deore mecanical disc brakes | | Bike Setup: | Kona Kula supreme- reba team fork - full sram X.7 drivetrain | | Bottom Line: | I only had riden them in a few rides, but they had worked perfectly, best modulation and power. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: August 21, 2005 | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Purchased At: | Briarcliff Bike Works | | Strengths: | My Bonz one finger brake triggers fit on them, they are easy to work on, they work well | | Weaknesses: | the screws that connect the master cylinder to the levers tend to loosen over time | | Similar Products Used: | HFX9s, shimano deore hydraulics | | Bike Setup: | 03 Kona Dawg, almost nothing stock remaining on bike, BETD plates, Sherman Firefly... | | Bottom Line: | I absolutely LOVE my Bonz one finger brake triggers. These seem to be the only brakes they make them for. Hayes brakes can be kind of a pain if you have no clue how to take care of your disc brakes. Keep the rotors clean, replace the pads every now and then, no problems. I have two bikes with HFX9s and this bike with Mags. If you VERY CAREFULLY put A LITTLE BIT of loctite on the threads of the screws that connect the levers to the master cylinders they should stop migrating. If you are a retard (like me) and you get loctite on the outside of piece that passes through the lever (the one that the screw passes through) you will be very, very unhappy. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
