TRP have been making waves in the mountain bike brake world for several years now, and their latest series of mineral-oil-powered stoppers is winning wide acclaim. We reviewed<\/a> the Slate T4 brakes<\/a> late last year, and praised them for their dependable power, ease of service, and value. Pinkbike recently conducted a long-term review of the brakes, and were similarly impressed.<\/p>\n

“For the price, the Slate T4 brakes perform at or above the level of the competition, with easy setup, along with excellent consistency and reliability.”
\n-Daniel Sapp, pinkbike.com<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Slate T4 is a 4-piston brake, running different sized front and rear pistons to aid in modulation. This design gives the brakes more modulation and control, but with a similar bite-strength to brakes like the Shimano Zee and SRAM Guide, and makes for a very confidence-inspiring ride.<\/p>\n

“The brakes felt very solid, with no sponginess or softness to speak of. The lever initially felt a little overbuilt, but, once I adjusted the reach to my liking, it was quite comfortable.”
\n-Daniel Sapp, pinkbike.com<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can find the complete review on Pinkbike.com<\/a>, where Daniel goes into greater detail about the brake’s design history and more in-depth analysis of the brake’s styling and long-term reliability.\u00a0The Slate T4 is available through your local Live to Play Sports dealer.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
