"Some gear is simply hard to fault, and these brakes are deeply in that groove. Likely there is a good reason Shimano has not changed them much over the past five years." - Singletracks.com - Mountain Bike Trails & Reviews

Shimano Zee Brakes

Shimano's high-powered stoppers have been around for some time now, offering two flavours of four-pot power. The Saints sit up top as the benchmark and below which the less expensive Zee offers huge power but with a slightly lower spec.

While these might look like a pair of school shoes, once you are on the bike their functionality becomes clear. These are the ultimate winter biking shoes if you ride flats; the Velcro lace cover does a great job of keeping a fair amount of water out of the shoe and also keeping your laces crud free.
