Hayes Stroker Gram Brakes

One of the examples of Hayes disc brakes for sale is the Stroker Gram. These are built with weight in mind and hence are perfect for cross country and off road racers as well as general mountain bike riders.

Hayes Stroker Ace

The Stroker Ace is the first of Hayes disc brakes to include four piston caliper with a mono-bloc design.

Hayes Stroker Trail Brake

The Striker trail is an example of Hayes disc brakes which are meant for XC, Trail and All Mountain riding. According to the Hayes website the Stroker Trail comes with an adjustable banjo which allows for the hose to be routed without worrying about it getting caught. It also has a higher hydraulic ratio than other similar models which helps to increase its power. This also increases the level of modulation of the Stroker Trail.

Hayes Prime Disc Brakes

There are two models in the Prime series – the Hayes Prime Pro and Hayes Prime Expert.
