Gusset Hydro Chute brakes


GUSSET’S CHUTE HAS been around for a while and bears a strong resemblance to the original Avid Juicy. That’s no bad thing, as the Juicy was always a reliable brake – and so is the Chute – plus it means it’s easy to find spares for.

The distinctive Avid-style pivot position gives the brake a more powerful feel than its mediocre dyno figures suggest and modulation is better than most cheap stoppers. The heavily cut-out ‘saw blade’ rotors keep weight reasonable and add class – they’re good looking enough to be seen on properly pimp builds.

While the rotors are available separately for 23$ each, the brakes only come as a complete kit, which means using a modular Avid or Shimano set with your existing rotors might actually work out cheaper.
