Our take
I appreciate the lightweight aluminum construction of these Sunlite cantilever brakes, coming in under 200g. The silver finish is clean and the fact that it's suitable for front and rear positions adds to its utility. What really stands out is the broad compatibility; it works with cyclocross, mountain, road, and touring bikes, which is quite flexible for many riders. However, it's still a cantilever brake, so expectations for modern stopping power should be tempered compared to disc systems, but for its type, it's a decent, light choice.
