Hi. Does this model have the hydraulic disc brakes or the mechanical disc brakes?

Actually, they are Avid Elixir 3 disk brakes, and they are hydraulic. I was surprised that a bike at this pricepoint has hydraulic brakes.

It's allegedly hydraulic but I'm not sure. Feels just like the factory part however.

Yes it does have coaster brakes in the rear hub. They work well for my wife and we ride a lot.

The tcs2101 will only work on non-disc brakes.The tcs2102 will work on non-disc as well as disc brake models. I don't understand why they would make two models when one will do it all.

I do not have both. I do have the one which I think is the new one. It is easy to install and works very well.

It does work with disc brakes. I mounted it on a 29er with mechanical discs. No worries?

Mine was the older V brakes, the disc brake model had just come out mine was old stock. Sorry no idea on the forks that's too technical for me lol

A lot of little things and some bigger things. 1. The color, the sport is Blue & the regular is Red 2. The sport comes with a lock out on the Front Fork, the regular doesn't 3. The sport has hydraulic disk brakes, the regular has mechanical disk breaks 4. Almost every component on the sport is an upgraded component then the base model.

Yes they are. They are long pull levers so they are compatible with V-brakes and mechanical disk brakes. I have tried them on a recumbent with Avid disk brakes and they worked so good, I will be buying another set of these shifters/levers for it after Christmas. They are , however, not compatible with hydraulic disk brakes as they have no fluid reservoir.The set I have on my commuter are still going strong and shifting smoothly even on some rides at below freezing temps.

I just replaced the brakes and kept the old hand levers. The previous brakes were the same model (plastic spring covers had broken).

To answer your question, I specifically purchased this model as it was for the disc breaks only, as the non disc break model will not fit on my bike, as I have disc breaks. The bracket for the disc brakes is made to reach further in , in order to make room and not to interfere with the disc breaks. If your bike does not have the disc breaks, you may be better off by purchasing the regular model for non disc break bikes.

It has both. One hand brake on the front tire only and a cruiser (pedal backwards) brake.

It has the hand brake on the side, and a handle in the middle to switch from peddling and coasting... So yes it has both.

This model does indeed have a metal impeller blade and is the reason I purchased it.

As others have noted, it is made both ways. I have the freewheel version as offered here, a coaster brake version is also available.
