I really dont know any other disk brakes so these are the best in my mind. Ive went over the bars a few times do to these breaks. They must work pretty good
Pros
Good lever feel.
Good stopping power.
Good price.
Easy to service.
Cons
No adjustments.
Review
These are good all around brakes and a good value. I have them on my DJ bike and they stopped great even during the break-in period. Less noise then my hayes brakes.

Great stopping power
Cons
A little noisy
Review
These are some sweet freaking brakes! I have never experienced stopping power like I have with these on my DH big with a pair of big 'ole rotors. These things will bring you down from 45 mph to nothing in no time. When one of my friends jumped on to give my rig a try, he said that he was more afraid of the brakes' stopping power than he was the trail! Once you're used to them, these brakes will rock your stopping world!

Pros
They keep me from hitting EVERY tree.
Cons
Either there is a turkey stuck in my rear hub, or these are some noisy brakes.
Review
My first hydraulic, these guys have tripled my confidence. I know it is an old chestnut, but better brakes do make you faster. Add the fact that they have been low maintenance and now headache, yeah, I like these bad boys.

Pros
For entry level I believe these are the right brakes to use. So far very reliable easy to adjust and replace the pads. Long down hills on the brakes. I have not had any problems.
Cons
Not adjustable...looking for the upgrade.
Review

None so far, had them for the last year

Anyone who doesn't want to spend more for the same preformance.

Simple use no extra adjustments. Crisp feeling...Great for first time riders you don't need more than this.
Cons
A little bit short on stopping power for heavier riders
Review
A great brake for the occasional rider and first timer flawless braking for a fraction of the cost
