FSA ARE NEW to brakes but have released two for this season - the uber-expensive K-Force and the more affordable Afterburner here.
The squat, angular
body means it's an impressively solid feeling brake. Reach and bite point dials
are built in, but like most contact point adjusters, the latter doesn't make
much difference. The cam assisted 'Quick Draw' actuation means fast initial
contact and the braking feel is firm and immediate rather than soft and squeezy.
Actual stopping power is relatively weak though. While the brake price is
average the separately supplied rotors (20$) and brackets (12$) are great value
whatever brakes you're running. Because it's brand new we've no long-term
feedback on the Afterburner, but we've had no trouble in the past few months.
