Does Braking Power Matter On Mountain Bikes? | GMBN Tech Does Science

Braking is vital on a mountain bike! We all love going fast, but reliability, consistency and the power of our brakes is one thing that we do not take for granted. How much braking power do you need is one of the most frequently asked questions here on GMBN Tech, so Doddy strapped on a telemetry system (big thanks to Steve, The Suspension Doctor) and grabbed a few pairs of Magura brakes in the hills of Malaga to put the question to bed once and for all.
