My bike actually was axial before upgrading. So yeah compared to the axial they perform better. They just have more power with less pressure on the lever. Never measured so can’t prove it. But I can tell you I’ve enough experience to feel difference in brakes. Brakes are on full power way quicker.

Compared to the stock radial calipers I don’t think the difference is very big. My brother has the stock ohlins radial RSV and his bike brakes at least the same as mine with M4. 

I don’t know what to say to all the people who say they won’t make a difference. Does that even matter? Shouldn’t everyone do what they like? I got the opportunity to make a great deal for the RSV4 forks and M4 monoblocks. With that in mind and the better braking characteristics it’s the best mod I’ve done so far.

Never said the axial didn’t brake well. It’s just better for me now :-)

Did you have 2 pad or 4 pad axial calipers?

I actually can't remember it clearly, but I think I had the 4-pad axial brake calipers.

Nice! If they're good I think it's a good price! I bought them unused, also from a 2015 model. But paid more. Not sure but I think these are the Sachs forks instead of Showa. At least mine are, and look quite the same :-)

Yeah think they are sachs, I thought the price was to good to be true to be honest apparently hardly any marks on them, I was originally going to get gen 2 radial forks and they were going for more than these
