Great brakes. I’ve got 4pots up front and 2pots rear on my zesty and worlds better than the XT brakes I’ve had on the last couple of bikes. Just popped a full set of 2pots on a top fuel and they just work. Don’t think about them just intuitive. Same can’t be said of the constantly wondering bite point I used to know so well.

What’s the clearance like on these and the 2 pots? OK for a UK winter or a constant soundtrack?

My 2 posts have been fine this winter. Find them very quiet in South Wales typically conditions, especially compared to friends Maguras and my old XTs.

There is a recent thread where an owner of both 2 & 4 pots said the 4s have more clearance so were less sensitive to setup, not that I’ve had an issue with mine.

I sure hope they are stiffer than older rotors from Formula, which used to be so soft that they´d bend if you looked at them wrong…

Been looking at these for a while to replace my RO’s which have been fantastic.
Great review and sound like they are a decent brake..
