Yeah, I guess I'm looking for a novelty feature I haven't even tested out myself yet (no test rides available here). Hard to find a carbon fork AND disc break, so I may have to sacrifice one of the two. Either FX 7.4 or another bike with aluminum fork + disc break. What do you think of the trade off? I can't really judge myself as I have never personally tried out a disc break.

What about cost savings of having/not having a disc break (maintenance cost of disc break vs. tread wear caused by v-brake)? Should that factor into my decision or is it negligible?

Thanks for replying btw, all your comments are super helpful
