Strengths: Very light weightWeaknesses: Utter rubbish performanceBottom Line: They stayed on the bike for no longer than the bed in period. Now power at all. They got very hot bedding them in on a flat road. They flex when braking and provide no confidence at all. Thankfully Bicycle World agreed and gave me a full refund.

Strengths: Modulation, stopping power and weight. And looks!Weaknesses: I had to install the brakes upside down as the hydraulic cable comes out from the bottom of the brake and interferes with my XTR shifters. It doesn't affect the performance of the brake at all and will annoy you only if asthetics are very high on your agenda.Bottom Line: Got a demo set from Ashima a little while ago and have been riding them on my race bike since. I'm running a 180 on the front and 160 on the rear (I weight 77kg). The modulation is the best I have ever experienced, including the Formula R1's. The control on technical descents is excellent and the stopping power has meant I've pushed technical descents way beyond what I've done before. The net result is I'm faster and have a bigger smile on my face on my favourite trails! This really is a great brake.
Favorite Trail: Bukit Kiara
Duration Product Used: 3 months
Purchased At: Demo set from Ashima
Similar Products Used: Shimano XT and Formula R1.
Bike Setup: Maverick Durance, lightweight XC race setup.
