psuthe Date Reviewed: March 9, 2013 Strengths: none Weaknesses: They came default on a new bike and I knew the reviews were bad, but I thought I would give them a go before swapping them for XT-785s. These brakes were howlers from the first ride with average braking power and no modulation. Basically, they are complete garbage - especially when considering they cost as much or more than the XT-785s. Bottom Line:

JP Date Reviewed: September 6, 2012 Strengths: Non existent Weaknesses: High ambient temperatures, cause brakes to build pressure causing major drag, two sets completely locked up on me, warrantied one caliper only. Bleeding doesn't fix the pressure build up issues. One caliper, the rear fortunately completely locked up on a trail. Bottom Line:
