Not the best brake, but the most reliable and user friendly.
The Good
Easy to set up, easy to find parts, good power, good modulation, can be even better with better rotors and pads.
The Bad
The stock roundagon rotors are not that great. Get the CS2s.
Overall Review:
IMO a much smarter buy than medium range or low range hydro brakes, especially if you ride a great deal. Changing a cable is much preferable to bleeding a brake system, but really top end hydros like Avid Codes and Hayes Stroker Ace will always have more power.

Best bang for the buck
The Good
VERY CHEAP compared to other hydro brakes, extremely powerful, easy to install, easy modulation of left and right side of caliper
The Bad
none so far
Overall Review:
I ride these brakes with 160 mm rotors front/back on a downhill trail 3 times a day, every day of the week. They hold up amazingly. I do not notice any loss of brake power after long rides. These brakes are as good at the bottom as they are at the top. They are powerful enough to lock up the back wheel instantly and make it possible to do endo's when pulling the front brake. I would definitely recommend these brakes to anyone who is in the market to buy disc brakes but don't want to drop $150 per brake for hydro's. The best part about them is that I don't have to worry about bleeding them or having a leak out on a trail rendering my brakes useless like hydro's. AWESOME!

Why go hydro?
The Good
light, cheap, powerful, simple, easy to set up.
The Bad
None so far
Overall Review:
I run these brakes for dh. Hydros are such an expensive pain in the ass. These things work so well there is no reason to pay more.

bang for your buck
The Good
the only mechanical disc setup i would run
The Bad
avid levers slay my knuckles that stay on the bar when braking
Overall Review:
easy to install and adjust, no bleading, no shims, just a couple bolts, two knobs (pad adj), and cable adjustment. there fairly priced and dont weigh a ton. ive beaten mine up pretty badly but minus a few bent rotors and a few new pads (wich always had good longevity) it still works great. i feel better about this brake then i do most hydro disc sets.
