Looking to fit a magura mt5 caliper on RS pike ultimate with 203 rotors.
Found two adapter guides from magura, both say I need Qm44, each has a different picture for Qm44, surely enough there are two different Qm44 available! Thr magura support person I asked was not helpful at all, and a bit rude but it could be language barrier. Anyone knows what is going on here?
One mount has one flat side and pronounced top side, the other is bent like a rim bed.

Does it matter what it looks like?
I use the straight one on 36 to 203 front. The Shimano version is more like the "rim bed one"
I'd Hazzard a guess that the "rim bed" is the newer iteration as I've had my stash of straight qm44 for about 10 years.
In the few I clicked on the QM44 is bent and described as a replacement for the QM26 which is straight. Both do the same job but I guess the straight QM26 clashes with some callipers. Get the bent one
Edit: or do what i did with some MT5 callipers and use a Hope adaptor. I like that the calliper bolts to the Hope adaptor, means I disturb the bolts into the fork less frequently which I see as a good thing
