Answers to frequently asked questions…
What is the difference between the Ox Hydra “Pro” & “Trail” brake systems?
- The Pro is easier to install due to having significantly more pushrod travel. Pushrod placement is a much more critical setup item on the “Trail.”
- The Pro allows for Adjustable Modularity. There are 27 clicks of adjustment at the hand lever on Pro model to allow for adjusted modularity + more pushrod travel (you can adjust the amount of fluid pushing the pushrod by simply twisting the adjuster behind the hand lever…. not tools required).
- The latest Pro “2.0” requires less force to lock the rear wheel.
- The pro has a more robust hand lever / master-cylinder
- The Original Pro is upgradable. If you have the version “1” of the Pro, it can be upgraded to be a Pro “2.0” by purchasing and installing a K15 Hydra cylinder. This allows for much easier rear wheel lockup.
