Which is better between these levers.... only levers....


Recommended Posts

I am currently using the classic MT2/MT4 (BAT) levers and it felt so good due to its long lever blade compared to my shigura. Few days ago I started to see some oil leak near the clamp and started to prepare before the worst happens. I was thinking if I go with this MTSix, some parts of my old levers will be compatible (hopefully) or move on to new versions?

Cheers!

Have a look at the Shimano M4100 lever, it's also got a very long lever blade. No servo wave, and slightly smaller MC diameter than Magura, so should give a similar feel with perhaps slightly more power. Only thing is it needs even more room than the Magura lever to set up for one finger braking. I personally couldn't use them with an Inspired Arcade bar (these have quite a short grip section) because of this, couldn't move them far enough inboard. Ymmv with other bars, yours looks like it might just work.

The best brake I have used and have is Shigura M665, M775 or M810.
They are used by Clement Moreno and Euan Beaden.

It's a good idea to install the rear brake on a steel-braided cable.

I was on shigura setup previously shimano deore m615 then to MT500 those were ok until I have tried that long blade lever classic maggie more leverage really felt good, good bite at lesser finger power. I have small hands being typical small person, I am also looking forward  on those classic long lever blades from shimano and still searching....

I tried the Shigura on the new SLX M7100 levers and removed them after 1 ride. These Shimano radials are like Magura, only made of aluminum. I also have small hands (XS/S gloves). And these levers are great. Just hard to buy.

Couple of sets of those levers (and full brakes) on the German bikemarkt (mtb-news.de). But I seem to recall you're from east Asia somewhere?

yes! I am currently working in Macau and just few hours ago i saw some of these levers in chinese online second-hand market. Just needs to be patient, mostly chinese language (google translate to help), a pair of levers only were less to find. And I saw one, hope it is still available until I got my money... with exactly the same caliper I am using too...
