The reach is 900mm on the 900 and 1000mm on the 1000s

[jimwise68]

What are they reaching for?

The top shelf!

[Waxintaxin]

if ya like

its the reach of the calipers to the rim from the brake bridge , so the length of the caliper

[jimwise68]

Cheers Waxin! 

Think you put too many "0"s in though. 90mm not 900mm.

Otherwise they would be fecking huge!

Difference is.......MX900 are available?

900 have less flex as they're shorter

[jimwise68]

Looks like it will be a set of 900s then.

All good arguments to me!!

nah they just are
horrible square edged things with "MX" stamped on them

the earlier rounded ones, like the shimano tourneys are way nicer
don't know what the fuss is over MX 1000s

i'll start buying mx1000's when they get down to 15 quid for a pair
