For a non-pro rider like myself hydraulic discs are superior in all aspects, I have never felt more confident in a downhill, cornering at fast speed or in the wet, disc brakes make me faster. I am 100% sold on disc brakes and will never go back to the old technology. This is not marketing, hydraulic discs are truly superior brakes and I dont give a damn about what the UCI thinks or does.
