I commute to work six times a week and these brakes stop on a dime with no squeal and very little effort. I bought these over the 2011 dura ace because of weight and stiffness and every bike shop I go to says they are stronger then dura ace. The price is high but when you are looking in this price range you are looking for the best. I set them up with 105 levers and Gore Professional cable and they work fantastic! Oh did I mention they never go off center either.

I can only compare against shimano 6600 and sram rival, but these lightweights are legitimate. You are not sacrificing stopping power at all, unlike many other featherweight brakes. These feel more powerful and like they have better stopping power than the above brakes, that's my subjective opinion-no tests here other than flying down some very steep switchbacks. I would definitely recommend them, my only knock is that the color combos are not very clear, ie the barrel adjuster & quick release lever can come in red or black and its not always clear which you are getting. Other than that, great brake for a great price.

These brakes are very light and have impressive stopping power. I am 200lbs and do a lot of mountain riding leaving me with descents at over 50MPH and these breaks give me predictable stopping power every time.

Great brakes... I installed them in about 30 min. and did a century that weekend (replacing a set of SRAM Force brakes). Stiff but very lightweight, these beauties are not bad on the eyes either. The Swissstop FlashPro brake pads are a plus too. Overall, I'm very happy.

After getting completely frustrated with my set of Zero Gravity's I switched over to these. The feel is great, the install was simple, and they stop on a dime with very nice modulation.

They are pretty good brakes. They will never compare to my DA 7900 brakes in terms of braking power. But these brakes will definitely win for styling. I currently use them with my carbon wheels and they are holding great so far. 7/10 for braking (10=DA7900 brakes).
