Is this the new '2015' ones or the 'old version'?

I own MT4's and MTS's and they've been fine, just seem to get on with working without needing much attention.

Had a set of MT4s & they had plastic screws for the bleed port, crap design , if someone over tightens your screwed, & its easy to do being plastic will strip the thread. Nightmare to bleed too used to love my old Magura Marta brakes easy to bleed etc
Shimano cheap & work!

The plastic bleed port screws are a joke to be honest. I was surprised. All in the name of weight saving I guess.

I had a pair of Mt2's and could never get a good bleed and they were new. Always felt spongey and as said above the plastic bleed screw stripped. Cheap and nasty and not as good as earlier magura brakes i don't think.

Got some 2013 2's and they are fantastic. With uberbike sintereds in them, Ride to work on the everyday. Nice feel, good retraction so no disc rub noises. Quite impressed. Not as good as Shimanos latest, but they are cheaper and work really well.
