Evaluation & test summary of the Magura MT8

The revision of the MT8 has definitely paid off. Firstly, it now decelerates with significantly more braking power, and secondly, the brake lever is no longer so sharp at the end and is much more comfortable to grip. The stability is also remarkable. The lever width is still criticised for being too wide.
