Quad’s latest Nano brakes get a lighter rotor to make them genuinely ‘Lite’ for the money, but the added reach adjust actually detracts from feel and control. The Nano has been a decent basic anchor option that we’ve had no problems with in long-term use. The Lite gets upgraded with a curved arm and a more cut out ‘XC’ version of the previously chunky Pulse rotor which saves 40g for the 180mm …
