$250.00 | | Strengths: | Gives you the stopping power you need in tricky situations | | Weaknesses: | A bit heavy for XC. | | Similar Products Used: | Juicy 3, Juicy 5, Shimano XT Hydros | | Bike Setup: | Giant Glory DH, Truvativ components, Mavic Wheelset | | Bottom Line: | These brakes are hard as Rock! Stopping power is awesome. Will definitely recommend to an All mountain / DH / Freeride setup. If you have an XC, forget it and use an XT. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$320.00 | | Purchased At: | Price Point | | Strengths: | Great stopping power and god feel. Very reasonable price. Adjustment is simple. | | Weaknesses: | None that I've found. | | Similar Products Used: | Fred Flintstone method. | | Bike Setup: | Huffy hardtail with chrome rims, banana seat, and tassles on the handlebars. | | Bottom Line: | Nice brakes at a great price. Hard to find this kind of stopping power at this price and with my significant gravitational pull, I definitely need it. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$140.00 | | Purchased At: | Masherz | | Strengths: | Great stopping power and smooth modulation.
Price/Performance | | Weaknesses: | Don't like the feel of the juicy style lever when compared to the regular Codes.
Factory bleed was awful. | | Similar Products Used: | Demoed: Code, and Stroker Trails | | Bike Setup: | Kona Coiler: SRAM, RF, Azonic, Kenda, Fox | | Bottom Line: | For the money these brakes rock. The levers are so-so but not enough to have me spend the extra $50/wheel on the codes.
I would definitely get the bleed kit when purchasing these as I was not too impressed with the bleed from Avid.
Great for dh/fr on a budget. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$400.00 | | Strengths: | not too expensive,great modulation,pads bed easily,lots of power,feel great | | Weaknesses: | factory bleeds are crap,no pad contact adjust | | Similar Products Used: | hayes 9,juicy 7 | | Bike Setup: | macked 2006 norco atomik | | Bottom Line: | when i got these brakes the first thing i thought was wow! these feel just like my juicy 7s, only more powerful with better modulation,the pads wear in very easily,the brakes feel amazing, the lack of the pad contact knob isnt a big issue, personally i would not get the regular codes for it, they feel like they lock up much easier,instead i'd switch the juicy 5 master cylinders for juicy 7s | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$120.00 | | Purchased At: | Full Cycles | | Strengths: | Holy crap these things will slow you down!!! | | Weaknesses: | A bit tricky to set up if you dont know what your doing, plus the line was way to long and I had cut it down | | Similar Products Used: | Hayes HFX9, Avid Juicy | | Bike Setup: | Yeti ASX, 888RC, DHX 5, you know how it goes | | Bottom Line: | This brake will probably give you more stopping power per dollar then anything else out there. My front Code can send me over the handlebars even when I am sitting back as far as I can go. Sure theyre not a Hope Mono 6 or whatever, but they still have a lot of power. Plus the feel of the lever is so nice... | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
