According to the product specialist
Pros
This brake is strong and is real easy to apply. |
You can adjust the Bite Point Control and Reach. |
This brake has a stylish design. |
These brakes provide good braking power in all conditions. |
The double pistons further increase braking power. |
The XTR M9100 brakes are designed to withstand even the most extreme situations. They offer consistent braking power even in wet or muddy conditions. |
These mtb brakes are highly modulable, meaning you can precisely dose the braking force. This is essential for controlling your mountain bike in technical situations. |
This brake set is very lightweight, making it ideal for long, mountainous rides. |
You can adjust the distance between brake lever and handlebar without tools. |
They have an advanced cooling system that helps keep the brakes cool, even during prolonged use. |
Cons
These brakes are supplied assembled and vented, which means they must be disconnected for frames with internal cable routing. |
These brakes are heavier than the XT single piston brakes. |
The modulation is not as good as with SRAM or Magura brakes. |
