    Are E-bikes Faster on Downhills?

    Everyone talks about ebikes being faster on downhills, but is it actually true? And how do you change the way you ride to go faster on an ebike than your normal bike? Friend of BrakeAce, Jamie Garrod of New Zealand Mountain Biking, recently completed multiple back to back tests and collected data to figure out which is faster and what he's doing differently. The results might surprise you!

    Which Is Faster: Braking More or Less?

    Which is faster on downhills - braking more or less? Today we're talking about what happens when you're braking, how it affects your braking zones and corner speed, and what you're really looking for when it comes to faster times out on the trail. MTB is a tricky sport, and it's all about doing all the fundamentals right.

    Why You're Not Using the Front Brake and How to Fix It with Jamie Garrod from New Zealand Mountain Biking

    On today's episode, we've got Jamie Garrod on board to talk about the ins and outs of using the front brake. We've seen riders with as little as 1% front brake, but a few simple confidence hacks have seen them grow to consistent 20/80 f/r splits. We're spilling the beans on why so many riders are shy about hitting the front brake, and we've got Jamie Garrod on board to talk about the ins and outs of using the front brake. Jamie is a Kiwi mountain biking guru who does lessons and tours right here in Rotorua, NZ, and today he's dishing out his top three tips to get you buddy-buddy with that front brake. This isn't your average "how to" – we're keeping it real and casual. Whether you're a trail rookie or a seasoned pro, Jamie's wisdom is about to level up your two-wheeled game.
