It comes with Deore brakes which were good on the hire bike but I found that after a days riding they were struggling so I got a set of zee brakes for a good price wich i'll be putting on when I pick it up, I've also got a saint shifter that will be going on it as I hate the way the Zee shifter feels. I had zee brakes and I wasnt that keen, BUT I think that was due to shitty superstar pads that I had. They felt ok with the OEM pads NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BIG MISTAKE in regards to the shifter!!!! U want an slx one mate. the saint one can shift up more than 1 gear at a time IIRC, whereas the SLX doesnt! I've got SS pads on my meta the now and while they bite like fuck they also squeal like a pig so i'll more than likely go back to OE pads myself, I think I also prefer organics. Thats what I like about the Saint mate, hate only being able to change 1 gear at a time

I have to agree with you there mate! And I quite like Zee brakes with NP or OEM pads. but then I don't ride half as fast as you! Never tried em with SS pads but they were shit on my Formula RX's so never wanted them again. What you running these days? you've had more brake sets on that TR450 than I've had AIDS tests
