The ergonomics of the shorter aluminum lever enable full braking power, safely with one finger, reports Magura. The feedback and experience of trail god Danny MacAskill was also incorporated into the design and new ergonomics of the 12 millimeter shorter lever. The weight should not change compared to the standard 2-finger aluminum levers.

The highlight of the whole thing: The lever is significantly more curved and should make it possible to position the lever closer to the handlebars - to tickle the full braking power out of the stopper with one finger, even with smaller hands.

The new brake lever can be retrofitted to all Magura MT disc brakes MT6, MT7, MT8 and MT Trail from model year 2015. According to Magura, the aluminium and black anodized levers will be available in stores from the end of August.
