If you want antidive and you want a more standard look, I'd go for the LTH or Worb types, they are very good quality, the Worb uses the same caliper as the PM, but can be expensive and you could change the pistons or calliper easily on the LTH if you wish, but would appear to be unnecessary

i have a scoot rs one with taffy fork springs and bgm dampers and i dont notice any diving to warrent anti dive.

in fact if im heavy breaking ill make it dive as much as i can to put the weight over the front wheel.

i can lock up or make the tyre squeel with the scoot rs and hidden master cylinder no problem.

the scoot rs one also resembles a lambretta wheel, im not a fan of the ford xr3 i pepperpot designs. i cant stand the chinese moped cast wheel look either.

so its more about the style you prefer as they are all good stoppers and a zillian times better than any standard set up

exactly....

Sorry, but that's an Alfa Cloverleaf design, not an Escort XR3i.

It was well publicised on the forums some years ago of the same calipers having pistons siezing in the early ScootRS ones and I believe various people then made stainless steel pistons to fix the problem. This was why ScootRS changed to Nissin, no offence but they've sold many many of their brakes and I know they're very reluctant to change design.

The caliper we use has nothing to do with the early ScootRS ones. There are many manufacturers that copy the Nissin design. We get these from a huge company that is not located in Vietnam. So please don't compare chalk to cheese.

The advantage of the anti-dive system is that you still can use the soft and comfortable original springs with a powerful disc brake and it does not dive to the blocks. With the correct setting of the anti-dive link you still can allow a little diving for the feeling. It is also a safety feature as with too hard springs the front wheel can easily loose grip over bumps.

You can also get the weight over the front wheel with an anti-dive system during braking as you can let it still dive normally with the correct setting.

i suppose i would have to ride two back to back to properly compare but on sports bikes i have always backed it right off as i never liked it.

i have to be honest and say my standard jet 200 handles way better than my keved up ts1 with all the goodies bolted on. i think sometimes my money would have been better spent learing to ride well doing track days ect
