Avid Elixir R Hydraulic Disc Brakes
Solid Brakes
The Good
Reliable. Good performance. Not expensive.
The Bad
For what they are, none.
Overall Review
After reading the other dude's review I figured I should give these brakes some props. I've been running them for two seasons now and I've bled the rear once, and haven't had to bleed the front yet. I have them on my downhill bike and they're plenty powerful for me, I don't even run a 203 rotor in the rear. They slow you down well with good modulation and unless you're a newbie who brakes really hard or you're a heavy dude, the power is certainly sufficient. The difference between these brakes

DEITY Topsoil 2010 Handlebar
The Good
SUPER LIGHT I MEAN LIGHT! 283 GRAMS, 29" WIDE WITH A 50MM RISE AND DEITY'S TRADEMARK 9 DEGREE BEND X 5 DEGREE UPSWEEP. SO SO STRONG! I HAVE BEEN WORKING THEM AND STILL THE SAME AS THE DAY I PUT THEM ON.
The Bad
THEY HAVE PUT THE SICKEST GRAPHICS WEAR YOU PUT THE GRIPS. KIND OF WEIRD THEY LOOK SO SICK YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT GRIPS ON THEM. THE PAINT CHIPS I FEEL LIKE ITS WHY THERE SO LIGHT THE DON'T COAT ON THE COATS.
Overall Review
IT FEELS SO NATURAL. I RIDE DIRTY 30'S LOVE THEM. I LIKED THE 25MM RISE, I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD BE A FAN OF THE 50MM. I WAS SO WRONG. THEY ARE SO SICK. I HAVE SO MUCH MORE PULL AND POWER WITH THEM. HAVE USE OTHER BARS BUT I NEVER FELT IT MADE THAT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE TELL NOW. I FEEL I CAN BUNNY HOP HIGHER, WHEELIE FARTHER, AND TURN FASTER. I KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT BUT ITS TRUE. THEY HAVE A LIGHT FEEL TO THEM. MADE OUT OF 7075 T6 ALUMINUM SUPER STRONG BUT STILL LIGHT. MY ARMS WOULD HURT

2012 Rocky Mountain Flatline World Cup Full Suspension Bike
The Good
Very fast easy to ride bike, compared to any other down hill bike I've tried this one is the fastest. This bike is stable at high speeds, corners very well and can shoot you out of them fast. The suspension platform is a great design very solid in the rough stuff with the wheels glued to the ground, that being said this bike is just as good in the air with the weight they shaved off from last year.
The Bad
The very stupid horrible worst hubs in the world the shimano saints if you do buy this bike get rid of the wheels as fast as you can, besides that everything else is great.
Overall Review
Great bike worth every penny the rocky mountain slogan is very true '' Love the Ride" and so can you if you get on this bike even the Flatline Pro is great with a lower end specs. Ride this bike.

RockShox Vivid 5.1 - 2010 Rear Shock
The Good
Awesome damping and not overly complex adjustments.. the adjustments all do exactly what they should. The unit just plain works and gets you through the rough stuff without any doubts about it. and its fully home servicable.
The Bad
begining stroke rebound head used to come loose abit, but some locktite on the threads stopped that. very small amount of dead travel at the begining, but may just be mine
Overall Review
does the job, and does a bloody good job of it... perfect suspension thats there when you need it without ever worrying about it.

Best bike ever!
The Good
Corners very well, stable on the fast strait sections, takes jumps amazingly, and pedals very well. Also the linear rail allows for a really good rate throughout the travel. Looks so sick!
The Bad
Have not yet found one.
Overall Review
Truly the best bike I have ever ridden.

The Good
Good stopping power, reliable feel, easy reach adjustment.
The Bad
It's hard to stop the pads from rubbing and the perch takes up a lot of room on the bars.
Overall Review
Igot these brakes cheap, and for the price they are great. If you are paying full retail price, there may be some better options.

Shimano Saint Hydraulic Disc Brake
The Good
Power, Minimal fading, great control over the power
The Bad
Weight, bleeding
Overall Review
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
