Pros
My first Hydro brake. Feels pretty light and responsive. Stops my 190lbs no problem on my Fuel Ex8. Reversible levers. Good modulation.
Cons
Slight vibration on braking but will probably go on first bleed.
Review
As this is my first hydro brake i only have my shimano mechanicals to compare with. Great modulation and easily swapped my levers over to put front on the right (standard moto and UK set up). I've not had the noise issues that some Avid users suffer and expect the vibration will disappear with the first bleed. Great stopping power for what are now entry level brakes. I'd recommend them.
Pros
Light, great stopping power, adjustment is extremely easy
Cons
None so far
Review
This brake is amazing. Stopping power is the best I have ridden for the price. Highly recommend.
