lewis.jackson Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 This may be a dumb question but iv not been riding for a long time and i wanted to know why they are so much better then hs33. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 This may be a dumb question but iv not been riding for a long time and i wanted to know why they are so much better then hs33. I'd say that only the lever is better (better ratio = more power) than the HS33 one. The Racing Line slaves seem to be leaking from time to time. I've paired my Racing Line lever to Magura slaves and it works like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) They're nicely CNC'd, I'll give them that. However they still use the same pivot bolt design as Magura HS33s which will eventually undo itself. That's the first reason I chose the Tensile Tocco levers over the Racing Line, and secondly the price. Racing Line lever or the complete brake is obscene. EDIT: HS33s up to 2005, don't know what the 2014s are like. Edited September 10, 2014 by weirdoku 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racing Line lever or the complete brake is obscene. the only reason I run a racingline is because I got it brand new for just over £70, it's nicely made, looks great, and has gallons if power. I would never buy one new though. Not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I see it as something you buy if you have a lot of money to spend on your bike. In the long run it won't benefit your riding but it's a nice thing to have if you can afford it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perez Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Soo overpriced.. I would use the Racing Line lever and some light/pimp nuts, but Magura seems to work problem free year after year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Soo overpriced.. I would use the Racing Line lever and some light/pimp nuts, but Magura seems to work problem free year after year. After my 2014 HS33R didn't work properly I got a Tensile Tocco lever, that had some problems as well. I send it back, got a new replacement but still went for the Racing Line. Since then I haven't had any problems whatsoever. Absolutely love it and if it holds up like the 05 Maguras, the price won't hurt too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
