I ride a 2018 Trek Roscoe 7 and the brakes are not great. It has the std Tektro M285 brakes which are pretty entry level.
I have a set of 10 year old Shimano LX M585 brakes on my wifes bike that hardly gets used.
When I got the bike I considered swopping them around but thought that modern entry level is surely better that 10 year old mid range. Now I am not so sure. I am looking for opinions on if its worth the hassle of swopping them around.
Below are some pictures of each brake for reference:
