Hydraulic Brakes

Postby jcbyrer » Fri Jan 29, 2016 11:15 am

Does anyone have any experience with the Sonex hydraulic brakes. Were there any problems installing them, how is the holding/stopping power, any fade?

I can only give you my own personal experience, but for me they are an excellent upgrade and well worth the cost. Stopping power is fine and unlike my previous mechanical brakes, the hydraulic setup is smooth and doesn't squeak! I really like them!

I like my upgrade very much as well. They hold through full power run-ups and have plenty of stopping power. Very smooth. I did have to deviate from the installation instructions to get them to fit right with the wheel pants, but all in all not a difficult upgrade.
