A bike anchor!
Pros: Adjustable, Attractive, Comfortable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, Rugged, Versatile
"These brakes are seriously powerful! Its like dropping anchor when you pull the lever on these bad boys!
The brakes construction and design are well thought through, it really shows that avid has done their homework while designing these brakes.
Once riding brakes with "pad contact adjust" I will never ride a brake without. Its like driving a car without and then with ABS brakes! You can really ride faster by dialing in this function.
Avids tri-align caliper positioning design is awesome and you won't need to fiddle about installing the brake caliper as its really easy.
Bleeding is really easy. Just follow the instructions and you will get really good results.
Don't worry about the fact that its got a carbon lever, its super strong and has taken a lot of abuse on my bike!
A great brake which I could recommend to any rider!"

Pros: Attractive, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight
"This is a light weight high performance brake. It's easy to set up and works really well out of the box. The rear hose was a little long for my needs, but that's because I ride a tiny bike. Looks pretty flash too."

Cons: Expensive
"I cant say Im the guru on brakes but these are a very good product (previoulsy used Shimanos). Very easy to fit, adjust, beautiful to use (great for females hands). SO far no problems after limited xc use fo rlast 6 months. They are expensive but worth it and I would buy them again"

Great Brakes
Pros: Attractive, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, Rugged, Versatile
"These brakes are great, plenty powerful and the levers feel nice and sloid. Had to re-bleed them though as they were a bit spongy when I got them but once that was done they were top notch!"
