[Closed] Avid XX disc brakes

magura marta sl mags

I got them for the weight but been very very impressed with the power and reliablity. Just used them in the alps for a week and even with a 14.5 stone rider, a bigish bike and an 11km downhill, no brake fade.

I have some martas and can echo the above comments, and I am quite a bit more that 14.5st!

I have Elixir CR Mag front and rear - look the same as the XX to me, just minus the floating rotor and some graphics. Excellent brake, light and very powerful with enough adjustment to set them to my preference. Picked them up for £270 the pair from Merlin Cycles, which seemed a bit of a bargain. Also swapped the rotors for the Ashima Airotor (for less than I sold the G3 rotors and 185 adapters on here) which knocked of ~30 grams each end, so now very similar weight to the XX anyway.

Marta Sl's are a good brake,very impressed in the year that i've had them.
