That link is poor advice to give out - Whistler Park is way more technical/DH/Enduro than the average SA trail or average SA rider is doing. Equipment choices are way different....

 

I am fully aware of that, my opinion has just always been to have all the brake power available to me. If Elixirs are the most popular brand of brakes in a place like whistler, they will surely work for little mid level rider me... but I agree with your statement

XT is awesome and good value. (Exchange is making it unaffordable though)

 

have to echo what Eldron said about the Avid/Sram - had them hated them -  got real brakes - XT

 

I just did not like the feel of the avid brakes... was too spongy (even after relentless bleeding)

Awesome information here, thank you gents!! Last question... :D Shimano seems the way to go. Industry standard... So the question is... XT BL m775 vs XT BR m985 (older models not new)
