340 grams is weight of front brake without rotor. Rear brake weights about 380 grams, and rotors themselves are really heavy.

Sounds like cheap crap. Might as well buy used Avid Juicy 7s for that price.

@Circes…well, that’s funny because Dirt Rag gave them a very favorable review in one of their recent print issues.

Does it “sound like cheap crap” because you’ve never heard of Clarks? They’ve been in the disc brake business for a while…but aren’t as well known in the U.S. as some other brands.

@ghost rider yes they are cheep crap!! Came as standard on my bike. First set I had front piston seced on rear leaking by the lever and by the piston. This is after second ride not impressed!! Got them both replaced free of the warranty. And again the front pission seced the rear hose to short for my frame. Turned right and got socked by DOTT fluid. Now I’ve taken the bike back to the place I bought it from and there putting on some different brakes free of charge. Bargain.
