I’ve tried thick gloves, tool dip, and different tapes - nothing comes close to carbon and for me it’s worth every penny.
But, Magura using their injection-moulding expertise to make these cheaper levers that are stiff enough and feel good is a big step I think in terms of bringing carbon comfort to more pricepoints.
The brake these come on - MT Sport - is Magura’s most basic disc brake system and it’s excellent. I really can envision them updating the lever shape to match the HC and switching all the brakes to carbon on the high-end and this Carbotecture material for the less expensive systems.
