That doesn’t surprise me. The XT cantis from 1990 on the Stumpjumper absolutely slap without compression less housing, so I would hope these XTRs with compression less will be even better.

Meh. People hate on Canti’s. set them up good and they’re solid. Wet weather yeah, they’re a bit poop, but that’s the same as disc vs caliper.
I went for magnesium lurid yellow TRP’s or summat. They’re beasting.
XTR’s will do just great. I’d spend some decent casheesh on pads though. Something Swiss stop should suffice.

Don't forget cantis are significantly better with flat bar levers. But I can't complain about mine.

You’re gonna laugh at my suggestion, but jagwire compressionless made those canti feel hella sharp even when toe in.
Bizarrely I found it reduce fork judder too.
