They have a ton of power and some really nice, well thought out finishing details.
SRAM BLEEDING EDGE PROCEDURE CODE
I've been on these about 4 months now and I came from the Code RSCs, I really really like them. Why? Hayes says that the choice to stick with DOT fluid for the Dominion A4 is an important factor in their achievement of a light lever feel and consistent bite point in all conditions.
Hayes has also dabbled in mineral oil systems, particularly at the budget end of the spectrum, but their latest top stopper ships with DOT 5.1 and is also compatible with DOT 4.
Most companies are still firmly entrenched but for their latest brakes - the Cura2 and Cura4 - Formula has moved to mineral oil. When I first started working on disc brakes, Shimano and Magura were firmly in the mineral oil camp and Hayes, Avid (SRAM), Formula, and Hope all used DOT fluid. Simply put, a great braking system is a great braking system and while some riders certainly narrow their purchasing decision based on brake fluids, I'd guess that's a small minority. They both manage moisture differently but this is a non-issue for anyone who services their brakes regularly. You won't catch me drinking either but mineral oil, despite various additives, is generally considered much better for the environment while DOT fluid by nature of its use in automobiles is easy to properly dispose of and its effects on paint are massively overstated. Other than a few trials riders who used to run water, Mineral oil and DOT fluid are the two choices when it comes to hydraulic fluid in brakes.
