It's for slowing down or stopping without wearing out tyres and knees. Plenty use them.
Discs are probably the most efficient form of brakes in wet weather.
Hope that helps.
Pretty much. Running a 50x12 at the moment and after 3 months it was getting old fast. Plus had some nightmares with callipers in the wet with the other bike. The modulation on this is very impressive, hard decelerations at 30+ mph is easily done. Don't think I'm going back anytime soon!
