More on the Magura HC Lever
Magura MT brakes offer a variety of lever options. There are two major reasons for this. Preference and Performance.
With the available power of hydraulic brakes 1 finger braking is the preferred technique on any lever. So why not only offer 1 finger levers like the HC lever?
The shorter throw on Magura’s 1 finger levers reduce the amount of throw between open and closed. Since the power comes on a bit quicker the Magura 1 finger levers add a bit of “snap” to the brakes. This is illustrated above with the purple / teal levers and arc to the right.
Conversely the longer 2 finger levers require longer throw between open and closed. This provides riders with some additional modulation to control power application. The red and gold levers above illustrate this.
