: Just wondering: why and how would a cyclist simultaneously brake & accelerate? Perhaps "speed" could be used instead of "acceleration"?

However, you really still need a term that is similarly "sexy" = something that really is not just the technical term, but marketingese. Would need to know more about the text to help w/that

I should have added ;-) indicating that I was being sarcastic.
Any company that tries to have its marketing materials "translated" (instead of employing marketing professionals at their [much higher] rates) deserves what s/he gets.

Note from asker:
| Sorry, I have never been able to find anything sexy about marketing terminology. It's just plain annoying. |

Storm SL
...
On long extremely steep downhills, more throttling and hand strength with the levers was required to keep the speed down, but they never felt as though they were fading or were weak.

Vehicle braking system fade, or brake fade, is the reduction in stopping power that can occur after repeated or sustained application of the brakes, especially in high load or high speed conditions.

Storm SL
The Storm SL has a great bite to themselves, with good fade resistance and cooling power, though a slight loss of power compared to the Storm, which have a greater braking surface due to fewer cutouts.

I'm unable to figure out what 'throttling' can mean in the bicycle context. Does it imply 'slowing down', perhaps? TIA for sharing your insight with me.

"Now with the featherlight and awesome STORM SL ..."
Well, 'he who translates' (is that anything tribal?) should sometimes transform into 'he who researches', although this might lead to some confusion when written as one word ;-)
