Hydraulic brakes

The range of hydraulic brakes includes:

CLARKS M4
The M4 4-piston hydraulic disc brake, Clarks' most powerful hydraulic braking system to date, provides the powerful, modulated braking action needed to handle the increased forces generated by e-bikes and downhill riders. It features a new slim design, 4 x 16mm self-adjusting pistons per caliper and a 2-finger lever with reach adjustment. The M4 is available for aftermarket in a 180mm front and 160mm configuration.

CLARKS E-CLOUT
In addition, Clarks has introduced the e-Clout. Designed specifically for electric bikes, it has all the benefits of the popular Clout braking system, but with two key improvements: 2 x 22mm caliper pistons for greater stopping power and longer-reach four-finger brake levers. Together, these features provide the rider with greater leverage and better brake control. For added braking power, the e-Clout comes standard with semi-metallic pads and is available with 180 mm and 203 mm front rotors.

CLARKS CMD-24
For riders who prefer the simplicity of a mechanical disc brake but still need the extra braking power required for an e-bike, Clarks has introduced the CMD-24. The CMD-24 is a high-performance caliper with a wider brake pad that provides more stopping power than the smaller disc brake pads found on most mechanical calipers. The kit is available in 180mm front and 160mm rear configurations and comes standard with semi-metallic disc brake pads.

E-BIKE DISC BRAKE PADS
These three brake sets are supported by a range of e-bike specific brake pads designed for the popular e-bike disc brake systems. Clarks e-bike brake pads use a formula that combines a high carbon content for efficient heat dissipation with a high brass and iron content to ensure reliable and powerful braking.

Other product developments in the existing Clarks hydraulic brake series include the introduction of the Clout Plus, Clout Junior and M2 Junior. The Clout Plus is similar to the E-Clout and features a larger caliper piston and extended brake lever that provides riders with improved braking performance compared to a standard Clout 1 brake kit. The Clout Junior and M2 Junior models have the same proven features as their "senior" counterparts, but also have a shorter reach lever. These two new Junior models allow Clarks to bring the benefits of hydraulic brakes to riders with a shorter reach, including younger riders who may find a standard lever too difficult to control.

Outside of the brake kits, Clarks has introduced a new line of Centre Lock rotors, all made from 6061T6 aluminum. They come with Quick Release or Thru Axle locking rings and are available in 160mm, 180mm and 203mm sizes.
