Yeah, we have known this in the mountain biking world for decades. The modulation is not mentioned as much. On steep descents with fast and sudden curves, the modulation really helps carefully but quickly feather the. brakes and scrub speed without overdoing it. Now that they are even lighter, it is a no brainer for places like Colorado.
