Date Reviewed: March 9, 2002 | | Favoriate Trail: | sssshhhh. It's a secret | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Purchased At: | A mate | | Strengths: | OK they are Maguras if you want to know there strengths read the other reviews. | | Weaknesses: | Paint rubs off(damn shame), Alloy boosters flex a bit to much(Put a regular steel booster behind it) | | Bottom Line: | Why are we telling you how good they are because there are very few sets in the world and I swapped a set of Tomacs for mine. For the Ultimate look mate them with some braided hosing. The only downside is that the boosters are now avilable to anyone | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Very good brake performance indry conditions. THe stock brake pads don't sathisfy in wet weather.

They do need to be serviced. | | Similar Products Used: | None, first hydraulics. | | Bike Setup: | Giant ATX 880 '99 | | Bottom Line: | Would recommend these to everyone!

oh my god! they are absolutely beautiful!oh and all that other stuff that you'd expect from magura hydraulics...
-good power
-)y modulation
-pad adjusters at your finger tips
-the best network of support (just check out the brake section in techtalk)plus with the frogs you get -
-azonic boosters made from aluminum which i think is nominially lighter than | | Weaknesses: |
well - they are a bit pricey... but not that much more than a comparable set of v's.the paint chips away which makes me sad :(so strong that they flex out my rear seat stays even when i have a booster.wish it came with a bleedkit (you may not need to do maintainance but after installing them, you may need to top off a bit)$1 for an olive? what the hell is wrong with that picture?and the free mousepad isn't as glorious as i had been led to believe. | | Similar Products Used: |
lx canti's and v's | | Bike Setup: |
stumpjumper hardtail
mounted on the front to a z.2 bomber
with xt thumbshifters (a match made in heaven) | | Bottom Line: | don't believe the hype - maguras are not that difficult to set up! i actually really enjoy working on them... too bad they're practically maintainance free :) ...
i already placed a review for these in the generic hs-33 section because that's all they are... except they come with better boosters and better levers (if you are supersticious about having an alloy blade rather than the thermoplastic - like i am)perfect scores in the looks, dependability, quality, and customer support categories | | Overall Rating: |
