Official Hayes riders across all disciplines will compete with Purple Hayes building up their bikes with a more visible badge of pride known as Dominion in the highly regarded purple. However as brakes are produced for MTB royalty at the professional level an additional quantity will be made available for a few lucky consumers who wish to not only ride the same quality as the pros but desire to build their bike with a visual statement of their great taste in fantastic braking performance. While available in all markets the quantities of the Purple Hayes brakes are limited to the extra quantity associated with the athlete production run and as such will be sold in a first come first serve basis while supplies last. The limited-edition release of the Hayes Dominion A4 “Purple Hayes” Brake Kit may fit the royal metaphor yet it is truly a symbol of its own heritage more than anything else. The purple colorway is a testament to the early days of mountain biking that saw Hayes bring a technology to the world that was to forever change our sport. The early editions of Hayes disc brakes were both groundbreaking and disruptive. To celebrate such a fantastic ride a quarter century of molding the definition of fantastic braking performance for mountain biking Hayes is to produce a limited run of the highest performing brake to date the Dominion A4 in a colorway that recalls perhaps the brand’s most iconic and visually striking model.
