I agree the brakes on budget bikes are usually god awful, but it's not so much the actual technical specification as much as the brake system components are budget, and the pads themselves are usually the cheapest you can get.
No actualy for what is on the bike I think they work great but its just a far cry from what I'd like to feel when I go into a turn hard on the binders. I should probably just go by an R-6 and remove the two outside spark plugs
