About this product
The HAYES HMX-1 mechanical disc brake caliper set is designed for both front and rear positions, suitable for mountain, gravel, cyclocross, and racing bikes. These black calipers, weighing 7.6 ounces each, come with brake pads and are cable-actuated. The set includes two items, offering a complete solution for upgrading or replacing mechanical disc brakes on a compatible bicycle, providing reliable stopping power for various riding conditions.
Our take
This HAYES HMX-1 mechanical disc brake set offers a straightforward and dependable braking solution for a variety of bikes. Being a mechanical system, it's generally easier to maintain than hydraulics, which is a plus for many riders. The set includes two calipers, one for front and one for rear, along with brake pads, making it a complete package. While it won't have the ultimate modulation of hydraulic systems, the 7.6-ounce weight per caliper is decent, and the Hayes brand has a history in disc brakes. It's a solid, practical choice if you prefer cable-actuated discs.
