from SA ,CA Date Reviewed: June 16, 2007 Strengths: Good weight looks great with th lines, nice modulation. Weaknesses: Brake lever setup is limited and they rub a bit. The power could be more. Air can get into the calipers from the reservoir. Stock pads are not the best and after market replacements are better. Difficult to find spares.

Not cheap, but you get what you pay for...

from Coimbra, Portugal Date Reviewed: January 6, 2004 Strengths: Light, powerfull (I have the shimano 203mm disc, with shimano pads), they do not fade, look coll as well... Weaknesses: I had some problems with the DOT4 fluid... it kept loosing the "touch". Anyway, I changed it with DOT 5.1 and it's much better. The pads and the rotor aren't that great either... I changed the pads for the XT pads (much better) and the rotor got damaged (they changed it for free), and I replaced it for a Shimano 203mm disc (much more powerfull) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $150.00 Purchased At: BikeComp Racing Similar Products Used: Shimano Saint, Shimano XT, Hope M4s, Magura Clara, Magura Julies Bike Setup: DiamondBack Jump Comp, '02 Z1 FR QR20, FSA X-Drives, Tioga Stem/Handlebars, SRAM's brakes, Shimano LX Shifter with 105 deraileur.

from Newmarket, Ontario Date Reviewed: November 16, 2003 Strengths: Using washers to center up the caliper is much better, and more reliable, it may take a little longer, but after that no problems ever. These brakes are also extremely easy to bleed, as long as u have the bleed kit. 4 - pistons give great modulation, and plenty of stopping power. DRAG FREE. Good looks, works well, and not too expensive. Best Brake I have tried yet. Weaknesses: If your bike is turned upside down, u must wait for all the air to go back up to the levers, may make the brake feel like you have lost fluid, no worries, give it 5 minutes, they are good as new.

from Littleton, CO USA Date Reviewed: August 20, 2003 Strengths: Light weight, four caliper design, brake levers, excellent stopping power. Weaknesses: The brake hoses should be designed in such a way that you can shorten the length. The gray color really doesn't match anything. They should be black. :-( Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Deer Creek, CO Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $279.00 Purchased At: PricePoint Similar Products Used: Hayes, Hope Mini Bike Setup: Azonic Saber, DJII, SRAM X.0, etc...
