Even though the Juicy Ultimate is listed as an XC brake, will it be ok for AM if i use larger rotors??? what you say? 🙂

It'll probably explode. You need to look for an AM-specific brake.

Larger rotors – heat up less but you will have reduced modulation.

Give them a good bleed too and get some decent pads in. I found sintered pads were fine in the Alps in my XT brakes and didn't even get through a set of pads. I don't brake much though.
