Ive been offered a new 2013 sram/avid xx world cup brake set at under £200 .While thats more than half price i still dont want to get them if they dont work that well or are unreliable.Can any one shed some light as i can only find talk on the previous years which is very mixed but this year they have over hauled revised them.

The old style levers I think could have some problems if not bled perfectly. The updated levers have solved this. I run them on my Scale 29 and they have so far been excellent and I have not had any issues, although I have only used the bike for hour long forest loops and not any long alpine descents.

I'd say so yes! The rotors alone are pricey.

Not unless they are very different to the rest of avids brakes which are inconsistent to say the least
