No man,it´s just not true that every disc brake out there isn´t powerful enough,other points were spot on saint,code or gustav m are all powerfull more than enough for trials,it´s the spoke flex what makes them feel weird,but the hold is incredible still...Another problem is,that the rotor can bend badly just from braking,seen that happen in person,but it was forementioned TRA,so most guys would be ok I guess
