Imperial? As in suggesting an empire or emperor? Or does it have something to do with the British Empire or the Russian Empire or the Empire of Japan? Maybe it's of a particularly large size. Or are you thinking of cinnamon imperials? Are you perhaps referring to something to do with the British system of weights and measures.

If you are saying that the right equipment is imperative for fast aggressive riding, I'd agree but I don't look on discs as being imperative. I ride fast. I ride aggressively. I do both in all kinds of weather. I just don't see hub mounted discs are being much of an improvement.
