OutBreaker is a brake-pressure regulator intended to prevent riders from flipping over the handlebars when they grab too much front brake. The $150 OutBraker mounts to most hydraulic brake systems and steps down the amount of braking force from the lever to the caliper. Is this really necessary since the majority of modern disc brakes have excellent modulation? We’re not so sold. But if you’re an OTB-prone rider you might want to look into it. Or maybe you could just lay off the front brake…Josh Patterson / Immediate Media
