Harder to find a MTB without them,but plenty of road,cross,touring,and hybrids with them.

What's wrong with dual pivots? No through-bolt tension to mess with.

My DBX has discs and cross levers,my old Conquest Disc R had them. My old ten speed had suicide levers. No comparison. Cross levers actually work.
