Shimano don’t mess about, when they release products you can be pretty confident they will be bang on. The Saint brakes are their flagship freeride and downhill brakeset and cope really well with longer drawn out alpine descents. They dissipate heat better than almost any other brakeset and offer a good modulation so you can ease in the power. For ultimate stopping power in all conditions, the Saints are hard to beat.
