    big discs shed heat better, however, professional DH riders run as small a disc as needed.
    BUT, even with smaller discs, the saints are just like land-anchors.

    Interesting that they haven't gone for rim disk brakes like Buell yet
    Only Buell though, isn't it?
    I'd imagine if it offered a genuine advantage, that MotoGP bikes would all be using them.

    As far as I know it's only Buell, but they were always a bit strange. Yet they are really strong brakes. Worked as well as any twin disc design I rode.

    Next question is why do none of the DH bikes run twin discs yet?

    but they did fade rapidly when used "enthusiastically"
