After almost six months of testing, here are the results of our Hayes Dominion A4 brake test…
Tested configuration: 180mm disc at the rear, first 180mm front and then 203mm. Sintered and semi-metallic pads.
For my impressions and test results I refer you to the video you’ll find at the top. In summary, I really liked the Dominions for the following reasons:
I found the most power with sintered pads, while the semi-metallic ones, while noisier, needed more braking time before getting to temperature and working well. The difference between the 180 and 203mm discs up front is mainly just a power difference, while the modulation remains almost constant.
The results were positive across the board: with the Dominion Hayes is back on the big field in the disc brake world and I can recommend them to those looking for a powerful brake for enduro use, DH or Ebike.
