Those 4 pad calipers are a bit step forward. Went from a 996 BIP with std brakes to a 998r with std brakes up i.e. four pad calipers and IMHO there was a significant improvement in power and feel. I can't really see how anyone could need anything more. On a local airfield riding day they consistently haul the bike down from 150mph to approx 70mph on one particular corner, lap after lap with no fade. Me arms give up before the brakes do! Ray. |
