ZHI-sam Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 main difference is the 33 is more powerfull than the 11. people go for the 33 as its generaly better.not sure if theres more differences but this is the one i know ofsam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Beck Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 hs33's are better, dont know much about the hs11's as ive always had hs33's but the 11's avnt gt TPA's and are more simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Go for the HS33 The hs11 is pretty shit in comparision, lever is made out of plastic i think Also, the hs33 has the TPA (turbo pad adjuster) scre on the blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolbeen Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Like the other people have said that the hs33 is a lot better because it is powerful then the hs11 and also they have a think that moves the pads in so that you don't have to do it by hand.

Jaffacakes Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 The callipers are exactly the same as the hs33.I think the main difference is the piston size in the lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saracen Kid Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 The callipers are exactly the same as the hs33.I think the main difference is the piston size in the lever.what does that mean its a big piston more power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 The callipers are exactly the same as the hs33.Yup, i've got them on my ashton. Did it as a bodge job about a year ago, just remembered about it, so you can't notice any difference braking wise except you don't have a tpa as said.Really ought to change it now i remembered.

max-t Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 the leavers are deffinately plastic.the lever blade is different to the hs33hs33's are more powerfullthe hs11 has no tpa.and you have to adjust it but screwing a bolt with a tiny allen key.very annoyingmax.....

Joe Aston Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I'm currently running both rear 33 on the back and a front 11 due to front 33 being shaged. Iv found the hs33 is a better break but i have also found that running the 11 on the front has helped because it is not as powerful you do not get as spongy a lever as if you where running a 33. In a front break you are not always wanting a on off break i prefer a bit of modulation with i get with the 11 and some cool stop pads but the bite when needed. I will how ever be running my front 33 as soon as i can fix the seized tpa and a rounded bleed bolt. Just because the levers feel nicer and you get the added comfort of the tpa. Hope this helped Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 The only difference is the leaver. Which is quite crap. No TPA, instead there's allen key bolt which you have to turn instead.Deffinatly Hs33. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_CRED_ Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 My friend had HS11's and they are poo When you pull the lever too hard the lever body snaps at the pivot screw bit and the blade just falls off. The only good thing about them is that they are pretty cheap. (although they are still a waste of money imo) No doubt HS33's are the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Swindlehurst Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 eerrmmmm.... well the hs11 have plastic lever bodys and metal blades un hs33 have metal bodys and levers,also the hs33 have a nicer feel to the lever than the hs11 but the 06 hs33 is supposed to have 10% more power than the old 05 hs33 thats all i no danny...

JT! Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 the 06 hs33 is supposed to have 10% more power than the old 05 hs33First i've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 the hs33 has a smaller piston and that makes it more power full from what i understand 25% more powerfull other than that its just the TPA and the sketchy plastic bodys. RB is the way though...better TPA more powerful nicer feel and lets be honest they look the sex hard to set up though but its worth it. truly isben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffacakes Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 First i've heard. Same here...There the same as the 05 maggys arn't they? 05 maggys suck, 06 maggys suck, and unless they change the design 07 maggys will suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendan@medway riders Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 the hs33 is better than the hs11 it is more powerful the hs11 is a lot simpler as well bechouse it dosent have the tpa screw also i personally think that the hs33 looks better with the curved lever brendan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Main difference is the different diameter of the master piston.The HS11 has a 16mm one, while the HS33 features a 14mm piston. So you get more pressure with the same force applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trials Punk Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 I have reserected this post so T-Pro kid definatly gets the answer he/she needs.Hopefully you won't have to post up again asking the difference between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joosh Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 the new lever on the hs33 might be kinda crap, but if you order one direct from magura, then you can choose which lever style you want, whether you want the old style or the new style, or last time i checked you could anyway!

Dan6061 Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 HS11 - Plastic lever, and body. If i'm not mistaken.Less power then the HS33 from what i've felt of them. Not as nice feeling on the lever. Feels spongier, and just horrible really.Not a TPA like the HS33's, as said before, they have an allen key bolt to adjust lever pull.The calipers (bits the pads are on) are the same on each brake. It's only the levers that are different on the two models. So whoever it was talking about needing new ones because of the 'bodge' job, no need to change.You'll be replacing the exact same thing. HS33 04 - Again, same calipers, different lever. In my opinion (and many others ) the 04 levers feel much nicer compared to the 05+ ones. The TPA's brake, but there's a simple bodge, that I have successfully used. The lever blade feels nicer on the fingers, they feel 'rounder' than the 05 levers.HS33 05 - As above. But a different lever. The TPA on these is in the lever blade (sorta ) than sitting on top like the 04s. I've seen a few people brake the clamps on the lever bodies, which isn't good. On the plus side, Deng's got a load of colourful lever blades for these. Umm..hope that answers any questions you may have on those..

bionicman Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 hs11s are crap because the plastic clamp, ive snapped a hs11 and they give a gay pull when bled with oil, go for the hs33 hope its a help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
