But why the perpendicular piston orientation then what looks like a parallel reservoir? Or what is the point of that part with the Magura logo?

Looks AI to me. Anyone else? 

the levers and calipers are different sizes, and they are all 'hovering' so its clearly not one photo, but multiple ones dumped poorly on a branded background - but the individual componnts themselves I dont see a reason to beleive they aren't real.

Same thoughts, it looks like they were individually shot and cropped, which makes the lighting really weird.

What would be the target market of those ? The MT might be due for a budget oriented replacemnt. 

I wonder how magura is doing these days, the MTs getting specced on very few bikes and you can find them online for literal peanuts, the Gustavs are nowhere, maybe the city/cargo market is what's keeping them afloat ?

Tried that image in two AI image detectors and got 90% chance of it being AI generated.

More than 10% chance that them AI brakes are capable of wiping the human race out.

It's not about getting used to.
It's about how it looks.
It looked bad ten years ago already...

Not looking to put a stop to the brake discussion… but here’s a new shimano saint rumour.


There’s a DH being released in about a month. When it’s released the full range of build kits won’t be available until spring of 27’ because of certain drivetrain and brake components. 

Any more news on when this will be? Is it likely to be tied in with one of the WC rounds? Norco releasing their DH bike...

Any more news on when this will be? Is it likely to be tied in with one of the WC rounds? Norco releasing their DH bike at the Whistler WC?

From what I’ve heard yes, Norco Team DH release on Sept 25 (Whistler WC weekend).

But that’s just what I’ve heard. Maybe my ears don’t work well. 

I wonder if the new Devinci Wilson will be released around then as well?

Looks like new sentinel about to drop? Pics I saw has a link behind the seat tube not sure why you’d do that but it’s there...

Looks like new sentinel about to drop? Pics I saw has a link behind the seat tube not sure why you’d do that but it’s there.  Modular lower shock mount but no modular dropout.   

Only two model years for the current generation? That's a quick turn-around!
