I've personally never heard of them, let alone used them, so I would only ask where you found them and if they are cheap and on ebay, walk away :D !

I've heard good reports.

They are mass produced in china but the chinese do some decent products. Everyone seems to use the chinese levers and they are just as critical.

I would try to order from a uk seller and inspect carefully and check both rotors are close in weight range and return if I found anything not quite right.

Do not buy chinese brakes in my experience. I purchased a pair that were supposed to be from a sheffield company who out sourced the production.

I had lots of vibrations never confident on them and had a WTF moment at Pembrey (the first WTF moment of the day, not the second)

Just looked on some forums and they advise to avoid. I bought some EBC's for my trumpet and it cost me nearly £300 :shock: :((

Much better than stock though, but Triumph allegedly use shitty chinese firms to make them and there are quality issues.
