C14 has excellent brakes, no doubt, but there's room for improvement. The three parameters are
- stopping power: more than enough, no complains here.
- lever feel: could be better, and that's where the steel lines come in handy.
- resistance: after two hours doing alpine passes (in the area of Canazei, Italy), keeping up with S1000RRs and Ducati's, I was touching the grip with the brake lever and still not braking much. But it was an extreme situation, no question.
