Think it's so hard to say, don't think anyone could tell the difference in a blind test. Probably comes down to quality and features. Then again it's only a few bits of wire on a couple of pivots and none of the features are of any use on the hoof.
Sorry.

I just wanted to know something about mud clearance, adjustability, durability, etc... from sy, who used them. Or any of them.

Okay.
Erm I will say that the guys I know racing on TRPs have done so out of choice. The guys on Kores are doing so because that's what came on the bikes.
Not sure what the costs are, but I'd go TRP.

I don't know anything about the Kore brakes. I use TRP EuroX though and really like them. I mainly got them because they look great though.

i've used both and as mentioned there's really not much difference in use although the TRPs might be a little bit more powerful
the Kores are a little bit easier to adjust and they're cheaper, but the TRPs have old-skool 'cross cool

I raced on TRP's last year and thought they worked well. A change of bike means I'm using carbon Spooky's this year, which are the pinnacle of normative determinism. Damn light though.

No. Not... not just a picture. ๐Ÿ˜€ (I have a lot of pics.)

I've used older style XT cantis before, but I need better brakes on my new bike. ๐Ÿ˜€
