hayes nines are reliable, cheap and powerful. They don't have the best feel but they're strong from the experiance i've had. juicy 5's cost like $200 an end retail don't they? Have a look on pricepoint or jensonusa

Madder why does everyone think mountain bikers need 6 pistons they are stupidly powerful and far to heavy. Any decent 2 piston brake will stop u fine and i find that they often have much better modulation. If you really want a powerful brake buy a hope moto v2.

well lets due the math 6 pistons means more pad that has force behind it. so wiether its a good brake or not who knows unless u try it but as foir the mx2 i think my left shoe would stop better i had bad expeiences

It's not about the number of pistons, it's about fluid displacement. If the two pistons displace more than the 6 pistons, the two will me more powerful. That is, of course, the pad is the same size.

Don't buy the hype, two is enough.
