    Have you bled them? Changed the pads?

    XTR brakes are pretty damn good when working properly.

    XTR brakes are better than damned good, they're awesome, frankly.
    Bleed them, and change the pads, like CWNT says.

    Formula 'the one' are arguably the best available. Unfortunately they also come with a rather hefty price tag.

    Fix what you have! Or if not, sell them to me for a pound since they don't work ;) Even old XTR is still pretty competitive.

    please note there is a buying section of the forum.

    and look at why your brakes are poor as you will have just the same problem with your new brakes.
