Hi,

Magura has hydraulic rim brake as long as I live (16)
My dad had hs33 or hs11 on his mtb back in the day.
Are they still compatible with like we say a ultegra/Dura ace r8070/r9170 Shifters?
That would be the ultimate thing to exist.

Shimano shifters for hydraulic discs on a hydraulic rimbrake?


Thanks in advance

Why would you want to?

Hydraulic shifters are twice the price of the cable braked ones.

Maybe because cable actuated shifters are becoming less common.
Like recent Dura-Ace and Ultegra: only hydraulic shifters.

On topic: Sram had hydraulic rim caliperrs a few years ago but those are not compatible with shimano (dot lfuid versus mineral oil).

Actually I want better brakes. Still big gap between brakepads and small levers. Perfect solutions was Shimano di2 hydraulic levers with magura hs33 brakes. Or the sram brakes with the new sram levers

I had a set of SRAM brakes on my trainer bike. I didn't think they offered any advantage over the traditional rim brakes in terms of feel, effort, or modulation. The pads make a much bigger difference here. In fact, the rebound on the hydro brakes wasn't as good, they just want to open lazily. These are best left for Tri bikes with difficult to fit cable routes. The SRAM brakes seem to work better on sub-25mm brakes rather than 25mm+ brake tracks even with the thinner pads. On the wider grip, the restraction issues seem to get worse.
I'd point you back to cable brakes for just about any reason.

New DA 9200 does have rim beake version STIs.
Hydro rim SRAM is useless imo, no better than my 9100 rim calipers.
2018 Cannondale SuperSix EVO 2 rim size 56 (raw stripped) 6.8kg
2014 Bridgestone Anchor CX6 Equipe size 55 (cyclocross) 9.6kg

This is not true.
