But once you get used to having them... I have really grown to appreciate them. Especially after riding a few Buds bikes with single discs, after being on this one a couple years. Funny to watch them the first time they GRAB the front brake on this bike.




Couldn't agree more. At first i didn't see the need. But now i'm very glad to have them. I've done quick stopping tests to see how fast i can stop and it's very efficiant. May not seem to matter when you look at it in normal stopping context. But when you find yourself is a situation i can see them saving my @ss compared to a single. Like having a friggin parachute deployed.Worth the cost diff between the america and SM alone,(IMO of course) never mind the mags tach and tires which also i've come to appriciate a lot.
