MTB front disc 180 or 160?

No. If you don’t notice brake fade, are happy with the power and modulation, then chances are you’re on the right brakes for you!

Personally I am lucky enough to live somewhere with long descents, long enough that I do get some brake fade. Also I like a lot of power, so that I don’t have to “pull” hard. Which I find really beneficial on descents long enough, to where grip strength/arm pump starts to be a factor.
