Brakes on mountainboards has always been a divisive issue. The truth of the matter is that most people learn and ride without brakes. Mountainboard centres have large open slopes with no obstacles and there is plenty of space to powerslide to a stop. If you are riding trails or tracks then you will not have that space to throw a big powerslide in. This is when brakes come in handy. Steeper runs especially benefit from the additional stopping power.

In terms of boards with brakes we offer 4 options. For junior riders we have the MBS Colt 80x. This is a pretty basic board but perfect for small riders who would find larger boards simply too heavy. For entry level riders we have the MBS Colt 95x. This is a full size adult board, but only of entry level specification. It is not suited to bombing down alpine tracks. The big mountain option is without doubt the MBS Comp 95x. This board comes complete with everything you need including a V5 brake system, 9″ wheels and all our most bombproof components.
