- they dont make them anymore in americabut if your an aussie there still made
- rare in america but if your an australian they are common

A&AW
+ very strong
+ light weight
+ doesn't stick high up
+ very comfortable
+ doesn't warp or bend
- you have to buy a new a or aw to get it

A2
+ it's the same as the new a
- you have to buy an A2 to get it and an A2 costs more

A3
+ it can fit 125 wheels
- it's just like a pro brake but bigger
- again you have to get the A3 to get it

Pro Model
+ it comes with the pro<almost everybody rides a pro>
+/- it's good if you cut it, but bends and snaps if you don't
- its made cheaply

Cruiser Scooter
+ fits megga big wheels
- nobody wants to pay for one
- who would want to pay for one
- this is a freestyle scooter website not a cruiser website

- dont ever get one

Vapor
+ they are strong from what i have heard

Old B
+ strong
+ wheels wear down very slowly
- hard to find
- stick out a lot

i just break my brakes at the hole.
So far this big chunky one i got works well.
Got it from a junkyard scoot
 
New A brakes are actually good. Mine got a whole in it after like 2 years of riding. But they bend REALLY easily. But i can't really say anything about pro brakes, ive only had mine for a month.

+ silent
+ durable

- come on it's your fuÃ?Æ?ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?¹king shoe, get a brake ya bum.
 
New a brakes here suck, just goes bronze and bends. My brake i got on my jd bug went bronze and bent and now im running an old b brake which sucks massively, its just worn down on the sides so it doesnt fit my dropouts. Not right size brake = No fakies :(
