I’m with Major on this one. Given that I live in Edmonton I spend as much time on my Fat bike as on my MTB. My Trek Farley came with SRAM Level brakes. I’ve never ridden Clarks, but I doubt they could be worse. YEG riding is all short steep ups and downs repeated ad nauseum. While its true that you can’t brake as hard on snow as on dirt, I would argue that modulation becomes even more important. I replaced the Levels with a cheapish set of Magura MT30s 4 piston brakes, and the difference is night and day.
