Strengths:    Amazing lack of weight, cool tech, fully carbon, good breaking power. Did I mention that they are light!

Weaknesses:    Initial braking power is less than the Juicy's, I should have went with a 210 up front and 180 in the back. Right now I have 180 and 160, and they can fade with really long downhills, like Downieville

Bottom Line:   
Overall these are crazy light brakes that have cool technology that goes into them, that work well. I put them on my XC/all mountain bike and have been very happy with them. The carbon lever feels like it flexs alittle more than a metal one does, but it does not impact the braking performance.

Very highly rated brake

Strengths:    Shockingly light weight, excellent stopping power and modulation.

Weaknesses:    $$$$$, Could use a little more initial bite with stock pads. (I am used to running all metal pads)

Bottom Line:   
So far I am very impressed with the power and modulation. When after market all metal pads become available I'll give them a try.
