Shimano gives weight limits for all their rollerbrakes too. IIRC the limit
is 100kg (instead of the 120kg for the i-brake).

I think the spec just means that they designed the product for the
largest part of the market (without compromise) and specced it
accordingly.

Others have it very informally, as in "no tandem usage" or even the
assumption that "tandem usage" would have to be specified and is
denied otherwise. From that I appreciate SRAM to at last publish
their assumptions/limits...
