Strengths: NoneWeaknesses: Hard to find replacement parts; most Shimano brakes are beautifully simple to bleed but for these you either need a kit to use the weird bleed valve or you need to remove the reservoir from the handlebar to get the reservoir level and you have to balance the thing in your hand and do a little dance (it's on the side, not the top); no power; no tech info on Shimano's website; can't get all the air out of the lines no matter how hard I try; fade when they get hot; no power; janky; no power. I'm not a negative person and I'm not into talking s***, but these are worthy of 0 flaming chili posting.Bottom Line: Absolute junk and a major source of frustration. Can not wait to replace them.
Favorite Trail: Hartman Rocks
Duration Product Used: 1 Year
Purchased At: Came w/ Bike
Similar Products Used: Avid Elixer and Juicy; Hayes Stroker; Shimano XT; Magura Marta (I love every brake listed here for one reason or another)
Bike Setup: Yeti 575; Shame on Yeti for spec'ing junk on a boutique bike

Strengths: Nice grab, very soft grab and doesnt needed a large amount of effort for the braking power you're looking forWeaknesses: Squeeky when grabbed sometimes. But i sprayed some wd40 on the moving reach, then squeek goes away and back in the right track.Bottom Line: Very good for the price I've paid for. I'm not a rider who gives a knack about high end components. what I'm after is the sustainability to my riding style. I recommend this with a star
