Another vote here for the M785 XTs from Rose. Stupidly powerful.
I'm starting to think that the M775 XTs on my two other bikes are going to have to be upgraded now, 'cos if I jump on the bike with the M785s after riding the others I think I'll be going OTB ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

I'm on the 2010 xt's, still love them. Didn't get on with superstar pads in them (less power, more noise) but that could be to do with sintered v's organics to be honest. Also better with OE rotors.
Tempted by the new ones but as I can lock the front and back in litrally any situation and have to really work hard (like try like mad) to over heat them, I can't justify the upgrade

Save yourself a wad of cash and spend 10 mins bleeding your elixirs properly, or take the bike to someone who knows what they're doing. Got 2 sets and they've never missed a beat in 2 years.

Yeh, that never occured to me ! 3 sets in 3 years and all had various issues, sticking cylinders, bleeds lasting a week or two, uneven pad ware.. there just finiky.

Do the Finned pads on SLX's make much difference to normal pads ?
