The spring system is very good. They dont have a little pin to allign them. Those pins and tension bars on standard v's break all the time.
You can tension the springs to your preference meaning a heavier or lighter pull. They can be very light to operate and the strength is incredible. Aligning pads is great too. They can move up and down and you can taper them in without having to loosen the pad bolts. So when they wear flat to the rim you can easily alter them to make them work better.
The design has been around for years and doesn't need updating.
Says a lot. You only need to read reviews of the best v's to understand Pauls up there at the top.
Othe than that Ultimates have a great rep.
