My thoughts on Magura MT5 HC Single Lever Upgrade

Recently upgraded my MT5 levers to the HC single finger versions as I bent one of the stock ones. Was a bit miffed about the cost of the levers (over £25 each), but at least now I've seen them up close I can see some added benefits.

The main point for me being that they are not simply a shorter lever, as you can see below the HC lever has thicker and deeper profile walls and more bracing around the pivot point which gives them a MUCH nicer feel than standard as there's no lever flex with the HC.

I still think they're too expensive but at least they feel nice!
