Isn’t the guide re just the old code calliper with guide lever…. I Have guide re’s on my trail bike and have had code r brakes too, tbh couldn’t tell the difference. On the trail bike both were good but when I had code r’s on heavier ebike I didn’t think they were up to it , I know not the...
So I was in a similar situation to , heavy 26kilo ebike with code r brakes, I found on steep technical terrain they didn’t inspire confidence, that was with race matrix Uberbike pads too.. I changed to xt 4 piston and the difference for me is huge, keeping the same 220mm sram rotors too, pricey...

There are loads of great off piste trails there mate, I think @yorkshire89 will be the best to advise you, but I only touched the surface mate lots there
Yeah mate we only scraped the surface I’ll be going back and get them ticked off for sure, the second to last trail with the drops was my favourite I think
