Hi,
Which brakeset should I take between these two? I need some advice too.
HOPE XCR or Magura MT8 Pro?
I really like hope because lightweight and easy to find parts but $$$,
the MT8 Pro, listed $250 cheaper than HOPE in my local market place but I don't know if maintenance or spare parts is easy to find like Hope.
I'm currently use Hope brakes, wanted to sell it, because my friend is rebuild his bike.
Thanks in advanced.

Do you like Magura MT8 lever though. There are many good things about magura. But lever ergonomic popularity is polarising. That's why people do Shigura as Shimano lever and Magura calipers.
ps. I haven't try both. I use Hayes Dominion T2. A weightweenies version of Hayes Dominion series.

I really like Hope for feeling at the lever, durability, ease of maintenance and long term availability of spare parts. Weight is good too, power used to be a bit on the low side but the new ones promise to be better.
Nowadays I use Trickstuff Piccola’s and like them even more. No recent experience with Magura, in the past I found them a bit wooden/plasticky.

I'm all magura. Most of the shigura I saw was for trials or for people wanting a more durable lever... which is not my experience anyway.
Magura's are plenty light, very powerful and usually very cheap. The bleed is a bit cumbersome but that's the only downside I see.
