What site did you find that on? Are there more brakes on the site besides what you posted?

Gotta love Formula. R1 beats Saint and Code and it's close to 200g lighter! The One beats all but RO and it's lighter than XTR Trail and only 10g heavier than XTR Race.

And SLX beat the hell out of XT and XTR lol. though addmitedly XT and XTR have more features and adjustability.

How often do the conditions allow one to use the full braking force?

 

From my experience a skid is the most likely result. But I am riding on cheap tyres and probably doing it wrong. Maybe ABS should a feature

quite often and once you learn to skid aka drift "cutty" then you will realize the wonders of strong brakes, but first and formost you need to consider,

 

Total power, bite point adjustment, brake fade, reach adjustment, and modulation when buying a set of brakes.

One thing most riders over look is actually braking properly and distributing their weight to stop in a shorter distance without skidding ... technique ladies and gents is king, granted you have a reasonable brakeset you should stop in a shorter distance than a rider who locks up his/her brakes .

 

Now if you have good technique and great stoppers then you are set
