Strengths: lever has a nice shape, priceWeaknesses: Dot, poor finish, stopping power could be better, G2 discs deform easy, need to bleed them periodically, 2 complete failures in one year.Bottom Line: I cannot say anything really good about these breaks. When working they are okay but i just have to wait some time and they are making trouble again. Pistons get stucked, disc deforms, i had to bleed it all 3 months. I'm looking forward to replace them.
Favorite Trail: too many
Duration Product Used: 1 Year

Strengths: Cheap, good breaking especially for xc, easy to setup...Weaknesses: too weak for downhilling with 82+ kg weight...Bottom Line: Very good brakes if you consider their price and the amount of pleasure and joy I had riding with them. I drove them for more than 3 years with no problems, but then they started to leak oil on the lever reservoirs(by that time they had quite many dh runs). I tightened them with plastic straps and they still work, just needed to bleed them.

Strengths: Looks nice (white w/ black levers). Brakes smooth. Setup came stock on bike.Weaknesses: Brakes smooth but only for 3 rides. I went thru a mud puddle today and the rear started to chatter & squeal...very annoying. After it dried up, it just chattered whenever I braked.Bottom Line: Looks awesome. Rear brakes suck.
