    They'll stop you quick enought, the only thing i would guess is wrong with them is the fact that there (as dh brakes) inherantly heavy, but there carbon so its all good. Make sure your fork/frame can have an 8" rotor before you buy them though IIRC it can void the warenty becuase it might snap under braking pressure.

    Hayes hfx9's are great brake and very popular on free ride, all-mountain and DH bikes. They are wery powerful but some say they lack modulation, and feel like a very 'on off' type brake. They will be plenty good enough for all mountain if not a little heavy.
