weegav Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 My front brake is a 2011 magura hs33 but i get a lot of flex in my forks and i was wondering if i put an evo 2 booster on it would this make a noticable difference to the performance of the brake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 The evo boosters arn't amazing, however it could make a slight difference. Why not fit it and try? it wont cause any problems. What fork/brake setup are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azarathal Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 The 2011 maguras are flexy anyway so it won't improve it a huge deal I wouldn't have thought, also, those brake pads and forks arent the best of quality so replacing those would make the brake better and possibly stiffer (stiffer forks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) The 2011 maguras are flexy Do you even know WHY they are "flexy/spongy"? It's because they have more power! I think it's because of better piston ratio or something among the lines. Anyhow thay have much more power which make idiots think that the brake itself is flexy/spongy. EDIT: Regarding your problem, a evo 2 booster wouldn't help much but try it atleast. A new set of forks would greatly reduce the flexyness!

It maybe does have more power on the paper,doesn´t change the fact they feel like shit and aren´t more powerful in real life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I still had my magie on my bike you would be more than welcome to try it out! me and my mates setup which where exactly the same except I had 2011 4 finger and he has 05 4 finger. The performance is just a day and night difference. We tried all sorts of thing and my beat his no mather grind etc etc. And btw my wheren't spongy at all!
