Clarks caught our attention when it released a new range of performance-orientated brakes under the CRS (Clarks Race Series) for several reasons. It wasn’t just the lever and calipers' striking resemblance to existing products that piqued our interest but also the promise of performance at a staggeringly low price tag. At £200 for the set, including rotors, they present incredible value considering the best mountain bike brakes often demand more outlay just for a single brake, without a rotor.
I had to get my hands on a set to see how these price-conscious brakes performed on the trail. I have been riding these brakes for six months now and so far the CRS C4s performance has been very impressive.
