Basically yes it does change and for the better imo, it does as it says really, under load and at speed it doesn't dive but stays more stable and the biggest positive for me is being able to touch the lever mid bend if you feel the need for speed correction..mines a scootrs anti dive btw.

I've only ever used anti dive on a race scooter, but I could brake later and control the scooter into corners far better than I could have done on my road scooter with a straight hydraulic outboard. Locked up my outboard on the road trying to avoid hitting someone else but I went down anyway, I think I might have kept better control if I'd of had anti dive fitted based on my racing experience.

Just upgraded my ScootRS outboard disc setup to anti dive and I can only say wow! Braking is now much more controlable and smoother, it's something that I can highly recomend.

That is good to know about the ScootRS product. I am building a Series 3 LI with an angry engine so I need to think about the other side of going fast. I do have a question. Has anybody used one with the Grimca hidden master and if so, how well does it work?

That anodized aluminum dual disc four pot setup that AF has is on my radar but so is a Bentley GT and you have to be in the same tax bracket to afford either!
