I'm tired of my Elixers. The new Maguras sound like a good option. Anybody know when they'll be available?
Magura MT-8 and MT-6: When available?
mid april in germany, but better sell your liver first:

Holy crap.
You know that there are two other, apparently cheaper versions, available?

holy schnikes. if, as magura claims, stopping power is the same across the range, that's among the worst dollars-spent to grams-saved ratios i've ever seen

A thought crossed my mind - at the moment the "older" brakes by Magura are on sale…why not buy a set of Marta's or Julie's?
And I could imagine that the folks at Magura thought "how do we get back into the game of brakes?" …and realised that a lot of money is going to be had if you offer high-end and at the same time an affordable product.
One of the issues a lot of the riders I know have had over the years is the price you had to pay for Magura.

Just one time, we germans get the stuff cheaper. :fruit:
I am tired of my Elixirs too.
I like the lever shape, power is sufficient, but my rear brake just cant be bled right.
Lever feel changes all the time and then the stopping power decreases.
Also it howls like wolf.
My last set (on a different bike) worked fine, except that the rear brake didnt as well. :lol:
I might snatch a set of Maguras. But probably wont go with the $$$$ version.

Holy crap.
I had the same expression as Curtis does in your Sig.
Fuck paying that.
On a Pinkbike eye roll article thy have a claimed Canadian MSRP as 739cdn for the set.
Just because I like boys doesn't mean I want to go out with Mike.
