Expensive, but good upgrade
I have bought these for my Giant propel SL3 (2014). The original brakes were not compatible with my new wheels which have a rim width of 24 mm. Although there was enough room, I could not get the brake pads aligned with the brake surface of the wheels because the adjustment hole of the brake pads was too narrow. With the new Fourier brakes, plenty of space is present for adjustment. Setting up is easy and I would suggests replacing gear cables as well. The delivery was fast, even for abroad deliveries (Ireland). Overall great product but a bit pricey. Also, the box didn't mention whether the brake pads are suitable for carbon brake surfaces.

Definate upgrape on std TRP brakes
Early days to review but install was easy. They give extra clearance to run 25mm tires. Seem well made and lighter than Trp they replace. Be aware the pads sent with mine were not carbon compatible so had to fork out for some swiss stop pads too. The combo of these on first ride did give much improved brake power over standard setup on propel adv pro0.
