A tire designed for wider rims, interesting... I would be especially interested of the thread width would have been wider too, like 2.4 or 2.5 for example.

Since the stiffening of the suspension mainly seems to rely on chain tension, I wonder how easily it will "open up" while pedalling? And I'm under the impression the system will generate quite a bit of pedal kickback during this "opening up"? I'm guessing it all depends on how the chain tension / pedalling force stacks up against the impact force of a bump. Seems like an interesting bike / suspension system. And not relying on the LSC of the shock to sort out pedalling performance has its advantages. I'd love to try one.

Review by Johan Hjord // Photos by Tal Rozow and Johan Hjord Magura has been making brakes for a very long time – the company’s roots go back 120 years, and much of their experience has to do with brakes for two-wheeled applications. They also have almost 10 years’ experience of making disc brakes for mountain bikes, their original Gustav brake long a reference among gravity riders in regards to braking power. For 2014, Magura has completely renewed its entire line up of mountain bike brakes, and we laid our hands on the 4-piston MT7 to see what they have...

"... a physical and a mental escape"; only the good trails let you enjoy riding and escape all other things at the same time! Judging by your pictures this definately seems to be the case.

I have tried different size chainrings with a 1x10 setup and concluded that it was too much of a compromise for my physical ability... (with a 11-36 cassette) I tried a 34t chainring, which gave me a sufficiently small ratio to do climbs (Belgian Ardennes), but it really isn't big enough to pedal through the nasty stuff once you're up...
