Purpose of cut brake?

[jonpaulcostello]

Is there really a purpose to it?

 

[mason buckley]

some people like a shorter break,

 

[Mikey G]

Looks better, wears the wheel down less, makes it have less braking power on some brakes. Less prone to being smashed if you bail.

 

[Ben.]

makes it look clean if done right.

 

[BenJelinek]

also it dials it more, less metal pulling/moving when dropped

 

[Anton]

It looks better for some brakes like the blade brake.

 

[Crazy Aaron]

its all about looks
