On the market for a new set of stoppers, thought they seemed interesting in a KISS way...
I asked the same question a while back and didnt get a single reply, hoping you do !
:o)
Well that's one reply for me anyway!
Try this:

No real info other than an anecdotal 'they're quite good'
looks like a complicated way of keeping things simple...
i'm very interested in these, apparently feel a lot like xtr, i think they have the same shape pads as xtr? plastic lever body puts me off a bit, but seem v. good value.
Was thinking the same, rolkin.
Had hoped that someone could vouch for them before I made any expensive decisions.
Is anything else comparable for the money? XC mainly 🙂
Are XT not around the same price, cant go far wrong with that ?
After pi55ing around with various Avid Juicy calipers and non-retracting pistons plus 'tool-free' installation I'd be interested them.
And probably light too, if their rotors are anything to go by.

Are they finally available to buy yet?
i have had the PCB's since September 2010, no problems great brakes

After reading that It looks like a definite case of "try before you buy", why not see if your LBS can lend you a "demo set"?
Steer well clear people.
We had these in as stock a few months ago.....about a week later they were re-called as under heavy braking the hoses popped out of the lever body 😯

Not good!
Shame as the sealed pistons in the calliper body seem like just the ticket.
From that BR review, it sounds like they've concentrated too much on producing a light weight brake instead of sorting the performance and reliability.
