It stops instantly any time, can't beat that. IMO, resin pads are the reason it grabs tight so well. It has 4,600 miles so far, ZERO squeaks. My front wheel is an awesome SA dyno DRUM brake, done 28,000 miles. Finicky hydro is NOT needed.
TRP Spyres are great I have them on my touring bike but hydraulic brakes are not finicky. That is just poppycock. Maybe some older stuff or SRAM stuff might have some issues but I haven't done a thing to my Magura brakes or my XT 4 pots (aside from pads and a rotor but those are normal wear items) and we rarely deal with hydraulic issues at the shop at least nothing really finicky.
