Didn't expect anything better in Parts & Components

I agree. I bought the same set of brakes from another website and the caliper is not black like many pictures online or advertised. The caliper is grey!

Pros
  • Alright!
Cons
  • Some cons

Expensive but worth it

Not a fan of the orange color but I like these brakes. hc3 lever blades are changing the world. If you're particularly into brake modulation and don't want the brakes going in and out, these brakes are for you.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Amazing braking performance

100% original Magura brakes. I order two for front and back. Everything is on the box, no pumping needed as the oil is already on the hoses. Sram G2 R brakes should be upgraded.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Legacy model

Great sport brakes

They replaced the xt 2 piston and oddly the hc3 levers are amazing. Just don't buy Magura rotors, they have terrible feedback/jitter: Shimano and Sram rotors are smooth as butter and that's what you want with these amazing brakes.

Pros
  • Pleasing
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Brake adjustability

I'm 240 pounds and they hold me great. I get minimal fading as I spend my days in the park and they adjust well. I can adjust to keep the same feel no matter how hot or worn the pads get. I like the levers because they feel like they're hooking your index finger, which makes braking very easy. I had them installed at a shop and was told that the gaps between the pads and calipers are very small so it takes a long time to check friction.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Upgrades available
