Don't know if to buy the Xtr brakes or the Marta's...

Magura marta raceline weight
Moderator: Moderator Team
I think Magura brakes tend to be of or very near specified weights. I.E. 280g for the Racelines.
I have a further question:
Has anyone used them? How do they compare to the Marta SL / Magnesium. Supposedly they're both a lot lighter AND suitable for all applications as opposed to just XC. Seems slightly strange. I think the lever assembly is effectively the prototype for the MT8 ... though calipers and reservoir and of the Marta line.

weight was frankly dissapointing & not much different to the cheaper semi magnesium marta's that have been out for a couple of years now - the new MT8 brakes look like they are worth the extra coin - but probably still not as great as R1's are.
