(updated 09/20/11) Pros
CHEAP! I bought a complete set for $50 on eBay.
Easy to maintain... I've even created my own bleed kit from spare parts in the garage (only piece I had to buy was a syringe)

Cons
bleeding can be messy (at least my first attempts at it were).
Review
my 1st hydraulics... love 'em! Going from v-brakes to hydraulic disc's are like night & day! There's probably better out there, but can't compare to anything else since these were my first... so far, they're great & they stop me effortlessly.
Pros
They get the job done and are reliable! Havent had a failure yet..
Cons
Hard as hell to bleed! I tried 10x with the stupid little bottle that comes with the kit. Doesnt work! Got a big medical syringe and it did the job 1st time.
Review
great brakes just hard to bleed. I own the FR version.

Pros
Decent stopping power. auto pad adjustment unlike mechanical brakes.
You can pick up a set on the cheap.
More power than mechanicals
Better wet conditions stopping than rim brakes

Cons
There are a lot better brakes out there. Weak compared to other models.
Review
If you are new to disc brakes these won't dissapoint. If you've had other hydraulic disc brakes they will dissapoint.

Pros
Have a good balance of weight and power. lots of power to stop, don't fade on log descents.
Cons
pad's dont stay centered and tend to rub, when resting the pucks they drift for a while before settling.
Review
great breaks for a more enduro geared xc bike. little bit heavy for purely xc.
Pros
They do have the power to stop you and modulate pretty well.
Cons
Not as good as the HFX 9 FR. They like to blow oftem when a lot pressure applied.
Review
Not bad for fluid brakes and far better than mechanical brakes. I prefer the Fr version, but hey, they work.
