I really can't understand how it's possible that a, otherwise well equipped 1400€ bike, can come with such a crappy brakes and rotors though. I've seen that it's common in all brands though. A friend of mine has a 1500€ Orbea with MT200 brakes 🤦‍♂️
Wife's $1900 Cannondale also came with mt200, so far she isn't complaining but her other bike she was using off-road was a cross with cable discs so I'm sure its better. While I know higher end shimano brakes work better even a basic shimano hydraulic disc is an impressive thing. I upgraded both kids' bikes from cable to MT396 which are Alivio level and they stop quite well and the kids went from four finger squeezes to 1 finger slow downs and 2 finger stops. All depends what you're used to.
