I had 2011 Aivid codes on my previous DH bike, a Canyon Torque FRX 9.0\. Before that I used a prior version (black body) of codes. I currently have Magura MT7's on my Radon Swoop and Shimano SLX on my enduro bike.
I want my Code's back! I felt the biting point was perfect and never had an issue with stopping. Modulation was brilliant and the levers felt like they were the right shape for racing. You could have controlled braking when you were in awkward body positions to save yourself from falling off.
I fell the Maguras are overpowered and very finely tuned whereas the Shimano brakes are very good I am not sure I like them as much as the Avid codes.
I will look out for the new SRAM codes!
