Anyone had a go on a set yet? What's the verdict? Are they as amazing as they look?

Got the races.The lever is SHORT!Proper one finger,you can't run shifters inside the lever.Loads of power and nice feel-quite a lot of free lever travel though.
One of my friends runs the trails and has been training for the enduro dh series in the south of france for the last couple of weeks and raves about them.And he is seriously fussy (and fast).
Thumbs up all round.
Edit-Given that the new xt's will be identical but considerably cheaper i'd plump for them.

They are excellent brakes, the power always catches eme off guard wen I swap between my bikes.

I would wholly recommend them

I've got a set of trails, they are as amazing as they look, great modulation, no fade, plenty of bite, a great brake set, be good to do a back to back comparison with the new xt brakes.
