| For what it's worth, road testers in nearly every rag reckon that radial brakes offer no great advantage over conventional ones. Just like every other braking set up there's good and bad in terms of power and feel and a good conventional setup is better than a mediocre radial one.
If you had a top notch Brembo radial setup against a top notch Brembo conventional set up I doubt that any one of us would be able to notice the difference because we can't use what we've already got to it's limits anyway.
So IMHO radials are just bling. Very nice bling, but a very expensive 'upgrade' if you only want the look. |
