They're hideous! I was tempted to click the "Report Offensive Content"
button near the bottom of the page.

Wow.

Other than the apparent inability to adjust the preload on the arms
independently, it seems like they'd pretty much work like any other
linear brake. Now on the aesthetic side....

Wow.

My reaction is:

I was thinking the same thing. Not only that, but the brakes can be
switched from enter-left to enter-right with little to no modification to
suit my moto-standard brakes!

Apparently there are a number of
johnny-come-lately "mountain bikers" that have
never seen the original "V brakes" that were made
by Marinovative and subsequently absorbed by Shimano.
