Because it’s very reliable and works very well.

So much better than cables and rods, that’s for sure.

Oh yeah. I could never really get used to the brakes on karts, no feel for me.

There was something wrong with your kart then.

The brakes on race karts are very much touchy-feely.

I once had a go in a kart that some genius had sprayed CRC onto the brake disk. It was like an on&off switch. You either had no brakes or the rear were locked up.
