The Hayes Stroker will come in three variants for different applications.

they will be Hayes’ high-end brakes, right? what is the 2nd graph, “Bladder Capacity”? is the amount of fluid that runs in the brake lines when you brake?

I don’t know for certain if these will replace, or what the situation will be exactly but these are definitly better higher end brakes than their current models.
Bladder capacity is something pretty key with Hayes brakes. If you’ve tried hfx9’s, they tend to heat up and fade a lot faster. People who suggest hayes for DH applications always suggest Mag’s since the lever of the mag has a bigger bladder and doesn’t fade nearly as fast since the fluid expansion of the mag’s is better since the bladder is bigger (along with a nicer lever).
The key difference between the Hayes mag/9’s is the all in the lever (caliper is the same between 9/Mag). The Mag lever’s have a lot bigger bladder than the 9’s so they can deal with fluid expansion a lot better. These new models from Hayes are even better than the mag’s in terms of specs

I’ve been really unimpressed w/ hayes brakes, from the HFX to the El Camino. I look forward to testing a pair of these out… hopefully they have been able to leverage their other companies to bring a new and innovative product to market.

At a quick glance it looks like there’s ~30% more pad area in the Trail & Carbon over the Ryde. This probably accounts for the better stopping response. That’s promising.
