Perfect, thank you. The fox sounds like a safer bet.Not too sure if that one will fit, Someone on here will know. I use a DHX2 and that fits fine.

Yes, maybe on a small frame there might be an issue. But on my XL there is loads of room.
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Thats awesome to know.

Yeah, I think the only thing that one doesn't have is the lock out, which to be honest, is pointless on a ebike.
Back brake on steep descents is always going to be that way because rider and bike weight is pushed forward on the bike....and applying the back brake increases that forward weight. One answer is to make more use of the front brake preferably together with the back brake. You can also help achieve a more central weight balance with cockpit alterations such as higher rise bars , shorter stem etc....whatever raises your torso when up on the pedals taking some weight off the front wheel.
I'm using SLX brakes with 200mm rotors. I think it's definitely a positioning issue but I have a ripmo with a very similar reach and same tyres/brakes setup and it's far less prone to locking up.
How about reducing your rotor size or put resin pads in your rear brakes.
