just rode a day in whistler bike park on a session with those, and one word i can use for them is sweet! they are so well thought out, with the lever that is secure but will move out the way if you crash and there is just a huge amount of power in them. the adjustment makes little difference but these brakes are the best iv tried. thats putting them up against hope, the lower end elixirs and formula DH brakes. if you can afford it, no doubt go for it.
