Okay that’s from experience but perhaps you’d like to explain why discs are becoming more commonplace?Fact: This is opinion, not fact.

Mine is stopping safely and quickly, what’s yours?I have both on different bikes, they have their pros and cons, which is "best" depends on what your application is IMO.

Agreed but don’t both operate on all surfaces?Limited by surface, not brakes.

While I agree that marketing is responsible for the rise in popularity of Di2 which only give a notional increase in performance I like to think it has more to do with a desire to provide better braking performance. It’s happened with cars so why not bikes?

Cars have considerably more rubber on the road, so the brakes are more of a limiting factor.While I agree that marketing is responsible for the rise in popularity of Di2 which only give a notional increase in performance I like to think it has more to do with a desire to provide better braking performance.

Because bikes are lighter and slower?While I agree that marketing is responsible for the rise in popularity of Di2 which only give a notional increase in performance I like to think it has more to do with a desire to provide better braking performance. It’s happened with cars so why not bikes?
Bikes are quite capable of reaching the urban speed limit and above and unlike a car there is no metal box around you to protect you so being able to stop in the shortest time possible should be a primary consideration shouldn’t it?Because bikes are lighter and slower?
Not all do. My Specialized gravel bike has larger disc on the front than on the rear.Also, why do bicycles have such a large disc and pads (same size as the front) at the rear?
