Hard to say which is better from a fatigue standpoint as I haven't ridden them on the same trails. I switched bikes when I moved, and trails where I am now (with the Curas) are significantly steeper and with much longer downhills than where I was when I had the Maguras. The only comparison I can make with the Curas is vs. Shimano XT, which is what originally came on my current bike. I notice much less hand fatigue with the Curas than I was getting with the XTs - they seem to have a bit more power on tap as well as much better modulation.
