Traction Control Brakes?
Has anyone on this forum ever tried these?

It all sounds good but does it really work and will it improve stopping?

First of all, it's not traction control. Traction control stops the rear wheel from spinning when too much power is applied and it loses grip. Nor are these devices ABS. What they do is make your brakes so mushy that they will not lock up. In other words, they make your brakes suck. They are a huge leap backward in braking technology. They are unsafe and totally unnecessary. These things have been out for decades but everybody always claims to be the inventor or they have some amazing new system. Stay away from them all.

I was going to buy it almost out of sheer curiosity plus the testimonial from that Rogue dude but I've never locked up my front brakes and decided it's a waste of money. All it does is allow you grip the brake lever hard and they supposedly won't lock. I've practiced enough quick stops that I don't need it. The rear brake of my RK is the only wheel I've ever locked up and the rear brakes don't matter as much. I'm also skeptical when they say they stop better with it. How often do they mash the brake lever?
