I’m a long term lover of Maguras, having had a set of Louise FRs for a long time, then after various Shimano sets and a recent very brief flirtation with some Hopes, I’ve recently gone back to Magura and I’m utterly satisfied with my MT7 Pros and 203/180mm Storm rotors. I’ve never had any trouble with the hoses or bleeding Maguras either, and they almost never need doing, in my experience. I also love the lever shape and really direct feel, but that’s totally subjective.
I understand peoples’ dislike for the “plastic” elements but as an engineer that designs and utilises reinforced plastic parts extensively in my day job I have no qualms. I’ve never tried Curas so couldn’t comment on them but I thoroughly recommend Maguras.
