_"Unlike the higher price points of MT brakes these use exactly the same material as the clutch bodies in BMW Enduro motorcycles... so I'm inclined to trust the material for our application."_
I talked to Magura about the material and they assured me that its much stronger than plastic. I'm sure it's very good stuff but in this application/design combined with that stout lever my experience tells me there isn't enough strength there.
Had it been a CRASH I'd be chalking it up to "stuff breaks" but this was like a slo-mo, "wtf..did that just happen?" kind of thing.
