Hayes: El Camino as the new top brake

The "HFX Mag" and "HFX 9" models from Hayes are well-known and widely used on the market. With the "El Camino", the Americans have now gone one better in several respects. The filigree lever of this model saves a significant amount of weight.

The brake calliper is also compact to match the lever: forged from a single piece, it promises low weight and a clean pressure point thanks to increased rigidity. But that's not all: the lever of the "El Camino" also offers various useful adjustment options. In addition to the distance between the brake lever and the handlebars, the progression of the braking force can be adjusted to suit your own requirements - turning a toxic one-finger brake for experts into a good-natured touring stopper. After all, the "El Camino" is also supplied with brake discs that vary in diameter from 160 to 215 millimetres, depending on requirements ? so the brake's intended use ranges from cross-country racing to heavy freeride action.
