Pros
Good power and modulation. The smaller caliper is welcome as well as the top loading pads.
 
Cons
none.
 
Review
A much improved brake over previous models. The savings of weight is great as well as the new Taperbore lever. The integrated reservoir and the pad contact adjustment are bonuses as well. Over all power on these is very good and will stop you for sure.

Pros
I like the contact adjustment for tuning the feel. The brakes provide very solid, controlled brake power. They don't fade at all ever. They're easy to rebuild and easy to bleed. The hoses are conventional, so no special fittings like the Elixir has.
 
Cons
I have no complaints after over a year of use. If I had a do over I would get larger rotors.
 
Review
If you can afford it they are worth it. Once you use them, most other brakes feel weak.

Pros
Pretty quiet operation. Solid construction, smooth operation.
 
Cons
brake compound is slightly on the softer side of things
 
Review
Solid brakes, they work well, without fading, the modulation is great, however I personally would like the brakes generate braking force a bit faster
