MTB brakes are essential for ensuring safety, control and performance on all types of terrain. Depending on your practice (MTB xc, enduro, downhill, or trail), the choice of brakes may vary in terms of type, technical characteristics and brands. Here's a comprehensive guide to understanding the options available.
1. Types of MTB brakes:
a. Hydraulic disc brakes
Description: System using brake fluid to actuate the pads against the disc.Benefits :
High stopping power, even in rain or mud.Good modulation, allowing precise dosage of braking force.
Resistant to overheating thanks to ventilated discs and adapted pads.
Disadvantages:
More complex maintenance (need to drain the liquid).Higher cost than mechanical systems.
b. Mechanical disc brakes
Description: System using a cable to transmit braking force.Benefits :
Less expensive and easier to maintain.Sufficient for light practices (XC or leisure).
Disadvantages:
Less power and modulation than hydraulic brakes.c. Rim brakes (V-brake or cantilever)
Description: Used mainly on entry-level or vintage mountain bikes.Benefits :
Lightweight and economical.Easy to maintain.
Disadvantages:
Less effective in wet or muddy conditions.Less power and modulation compared to disc brakes.
2. Technical characteristics of MTB brakes:
a. Number of pistons
Hydraulic brakes can have:2 pistons: Moderate power, suitable for cross-country or trail running.
4 pistons: Increased power for enduro and downhill.
b. Disc diameter
160 mm: For light practices such as XC or trail running.180-200 mm: For enduro and downhill, where great power is needed.
Ventilated or floating discs: Reduce overheating on long descents.
c. Brake pads
Organic (resin):Quieter and better modulation.
Less resistant to wear and heat.
Metallic (sinterized):
Durable and efficient in high heat.
Noisier and less progressive.
d. Ergonomic and adjustable handles
Allows you to adjust the clearance and sensitivity of the brake for optimal comfort.e. Mounting Compatibility
Post Mount or Flat Mount: Standards for fixing to the frame or fork.
f. Heat resistance
High-end brakes equipped with cooling systems (e.g. fins on the pads or ventilated discs).
3. Popular MTB Brake Brands:

Deore M6100: Reliable hydraulic entry-level model.
XT M8120: Power and modulation adapted to trail and enduro.
XTR M9120: Top of the range for competition, with optimal lightness.
b. SRAM

MT7 Pro: Very powerful 4-piston brakes for technical descents.
d. Hope

Tech 4 V4: Designed for descent, with excellent thermal resistance.
e. Tektro/TRP

Consider your budget:
Shimano Deore or SRAM Level for excellent value for money.Magura MT7 or Hope Tech for high-end performance.
Choose suitable disks:
Floating or ventilated discs are recommended for long descents.Maintain your brakes:
Replace the pads regularly.Bleed the hydraulic system at least once a year to maintain performance.
In summary
MTB brakes play a crucial role in safety and performance on all types of terrain. Hydraulic brakes dominate for their power and reliability, with brands like Shimano, SRAM, and Magura offering options to suit every need. Whether you are a fan of walks in the forest or a fan of dizzying descents, choosing a good braking system will significantly improve your cycling experience.
