Haven't tried them out but I will be getting one for my DJ bike at some point, but not likely to be soon sorry.

idk if there the same as what my 07 rockymountain switch had but i would imagine they are very similar.
they got nice feel to them but they dont have quite enough power for a heavier rider lolz

theyre decent, if your buying the bass, or any bike that they are on then they will do you fine until you decide to upgrade. on the bass they come stock with 6in rotors so if you feel there isnt enough power you can put an 8in on the front and a 7in on the rear.

shimano normally make good disc brakes, but the M575 lack in power

a serious lack of stopping power...regardless of rotor size or setup


avoid, you are better off getting Elixir Rs or similar price point brakes
