- lightweight
- powerful
- precision
- additional tire clearance
- reliability
- most significant new technology for road bikes
- versatility
- superior stopping power
- require minimal maintenance
- benefits all road riders
- improved braking modulation
- work in any conditions
- a major innovation in the category
- a must if you imagine exploring more rugged terrain
