CONCLUSION The Magura scores with its low weight and uncomplicated handling, which makes touring riders happy. On the trail, however, we missed the sensitivity of the progressive fork, which means that traction suffers. With the compression damping open, it lacks a little back pressure. However, with the clearly noticeable compression damping, the sensitivity suffers.
