Used Product For 1 Month Strengths Light Weaknesses Flexy Similar Products Used Koxx. Magura 2 Bolt, Velocity 2 Bolt, Threshold Review The Brake Booster is one component that strength should not be sacrificed on. It does protect your crossover line however it eliminates very little flex. I have had to attach my normal magura 2-Bolt booster to eliminate this flex through the top two bolts. It has done a good job. This booster is great for bike such as the Coustellier where flex is at a minium and you just want somthing to protect your crossover line, however on the pure i have it is poor.

Used Product For 1 Month Strengths Cheap, light, reduces flex, handles scratches well Weaknesses Doesn't look as cool as carbon fiber Similar Products Used Threshold original 4-bolt booster, Carbonique 4-bolt carbon, Magura steel, Magura aluminum Review Nothing very exotic here - it's a 4-bolt booster that works - it reduces seat stay and brake flex, putting more of your finger-pressure into pushing the brake pad into the rim instead of flexing things. Braking will feel more solid, and your crossover line will be protected from your heels and most other things when you crash or ditch the bike. The black anodizing is a nice touch on the Echo booster, but carbon fiber still looks cooler. Since this is made of aluminum, though, it will handle getting scratched up (from crashes, etc) better. One thing worth noting is that all Magura HS-33 brakes will flex on any frame, no matter how stiff it is, simply because the bolts that thread into the frame will flex. A brake booster, since it's mounted near the top of the bolt, will limit that flex, as well as some of the seat-stay flex. In my opinion, a brake booster is necessary on the rear of every trials bike with an HS-33.

Used Product For 1 Month Strengths Light & strong Weaknesses not much Similar Products Used Magura 2bolt booster. Review it does its job better than anything i have used and also gave the braking power a BIG boost. It doesn't add any weight to the back end at all.
