Loam Wolf has revealed its favorite products of 2025, with the GUSTAV PRO taking the Editor’s Brake Highlight award, selected by editor Rob. Over several months, Rob put the brake through extensive testing on a variety of bikes, most recently on the big-hitting Forbidden Dreadnought enduro MTB. Here’s what he had to say:
“I’ve read some mixed opinions of the GUSTAV brakes, but mine are resoundingly positive. They’ve got enough power to stop my heavy butt on the steepest trails I dare ride, and the power comes without having to squeeze the lever hard.
But most importantly, I’ve had two different sets exhibit exactly the same feel over a long test period and display the same unfaltering consistency. Add to this the tactility of the lever, and you end up with my favorite brake out there right now. Yes, I know they’re still using the “fragile” Carbotecture composite material, but they’re built suitably burly that I don’t foresee them breaking.”
