It has both, a hand and coaster brake. It's a really nice bike, highly recommend.

I bought this for our 12 yr old grandson, and don't remember if it had brakes or not. Best price I found (VERY reasonable!) was thru Amazon!

I do not own that particular bike; but I looked at images online and these brakes would be perfect replacements!

The breaks face up so there is no chance for contact with glass. The bike is upside down with bike grips in cradle and breaks towards the sky. Ive never seen a bike with th brakes above the grips.

The tires, make, and model are somewhat irrelevant when replacing brakes. It is critical to research the type of brake system that is on the bike as originally manufactured. All Linear-pull (Shimano has trademarked theirs as V-brakes) systems are interchangable and can be found in use on most popular department store brands of bicycles. Please refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_brake as a guide to determine the type of brake system used. There are also many helpful "how-to" videos on Youtube.com that will guide cyclists through the brake repair process.

They have the back-pedal brake, or foot brake...I think it is the same as the coaster brake. There are no hand brakes, just the type that slow or stop the bike when they pedal backwards.

Yes, the bike has both braking systems. I've found the pedal breaks work better for my daughter (she's 7) as the hand brake seems to need more strength than she can give.

Just hand brakes. My daughter is 8yrs old, she loves the bike. It didnt take her long at all to get used to the hand brakes

First you would have to see if your forks have bolt holes for the caliper. Then look at your seat stays to see if there are holes there for the rear caliper. Also you would need different wheels that you could bolt the rotors to. That year trek 4500 had a model with disk brakes so there is a good chance the holes are there for the calipers and all you would need are the wheels.

Go to the centric website and get the part number then u can search the part in amazon. Great brakes though!

It definitely has mechanical, not hydraulic, disk brakes. We just received 2 of these bikes, and I've assembled one of them so far. Full specifications are on DiamondBack's web site: http://www.diamondback.com/bikes-mountain-womens-lux-27-5

Yes - they are pull up style brakes on the handle bars. Work great. Our son like to pedal really fast and then turn the wheel while hitting the brakes - makes him skid in a circle. LOVE this bike - worth every penny.

It does. Only thing you will need that is not included is a little grease for the backs of the pads. So far, love these brakes!

This bike does not come equipped with 2 sets of brake levers. There is 1 front brake lever, and 1 rear brake lever.
