THE STORY
“100 RACE DAYS LATER”
The question we asked ourselves was how do we adapt our brake performance and power to the new standard of World-Cup level downhill racing as quickly as possible? No stone was left untouched and the result at the end of the season was a completely re-designed DH-R: the new DH-R EVO. New ergonomic lever-blade, newly formulated brake pad compounds, new high-performance hydraulic oil, new 5 mm brake hose-system, newly designed and CNC-machined adapters, new selection of 2.3 rotors, newly designed oil flow inside the calipers, new hydraulic leverage ratio, and a smaller size master cylinder piston lift the overall performance of the DH-R EVO to this new standard of racing. These features were approved by Scott DH Factory rider Brendan Fairclough during his 4th place run at Rampage in Utah.
