Long duty powerful brake.

Rating:

The Good: Power, Minimal fading, great control over the power

The Bad: Weight, bleeding

Overall: This brake is absolutely amazing DH-wise. Best thing about it isn't just power which is terryfying. It is how great you can control it, you can feel the wheel lock point perfectly. Fading is so minimal that for the sake of the rotors I actualy don't recommend it for a DH rookie. It is good to know under which conditions rotor gets cooked. A beginner will cook rotors on long descents as he/she won't feel fading and will not realize when it is time to give the brake a break... I take the star of it only for the weight and bleeding. I wouldn't complain about the weight if Formula The One wasn't there weighing 150g less per brake set. Shimano servo wave levers are probably ones of the heaviest on the market, but the caliper itself is surprisingly quite light when you look at the size of this thing.
