What are the main differences between disc and hydraulic brakes, and which one would be more suitable for my biking needs?

The main differences between disc and hydraulic brakes are the way they operate. Disc brakes use a caliper to squeeze the brake pads against a rotor, while hydraulic brakes use fluid to transmit force to the brake pads.

Hydraulic brakes generally provide more consistent and powerful braking performance compared to disc brakes. They are also easier to modulate and require less effort to apply.

If you are looking for better braking performance and are willing to invest in a higher-end braking system, hydraulic brakes would be more suitable for your biking needs. However, if you are on a budget or do not require the highest level of braking performance, disc brakes may be sufficient for your needs.
