Strengths:
Superb braking power which suprise me especially coming from conventional V-brake user. The brake hose is stainless steel braided & come with Quad pulse 180mm rotors. With it's entry level pricing, it's such a value for money & performed so well & I'm still wow...till now...gonna polish this brake rather than frame...haha
Value for money Hydro braking system. Giving you a Wow factor for 1st timer.

Strengths:
Very good brakingpower. Easy to dose.
Weaknesses:
Nothing yet.
Bike Setup:
I got a rather cheap bike, which fit my demands as a newbie. BH A37, Suntour XCM, Shimano Deore.
Bottom Line:
Im learning, and i think the brakes are great so far, even though i took a faceplant once and the bike landed straight on the brakefluid containers. So i cant imagine anything better price/performance ratio.

Strengths:
Strong stopping power, came pre-bled, not much force required

I installed the brakes on a Wednesday night, rode on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in Pisgah National Forest in NC, and on Friday, the rear brake bracket broke, and before I could even make it back to the trail head the brake locked up and completely broke off

Bottom Line:
Don't waste your time... if you are riding on a level where you NEED hydrallic brakes then these are not right for you. Mine broke after 3 days of light riding. Didn't take any drops, no rough treatment, they just broke.

Bottom Line:
good product and really value for money. If you need technical help, go to your shop and expect nothing from their web technical support. Again, they really suck or maybe there is no one there at all.
