#Crash bandicoot 2 piston it away all boxes series#
The new MCi brake lever uses the same dimensions for the expansion reservoir and piston diameter as the MT series brakes. It says that the system can be plugged & unplugged for setup & servicing without losing oil.ĭirectly accessible from the end of the bar, it should be easy to bleed the brakes – although it appears that you will need to alternately lay the bike on its side to do so. Magura says the system uses a new Easy Link coupler on the end of the hydraulic brake lines where they go through the headset, which should just snap into place. The front brake hose then just traveled down to the front brake. The bike that we saw had an opening in the downtube where the rear brake hose and Di2 wires entered from the bottom of the steerer tube. But if you can tick all of those boxes, it will lead to a tidy setup. Of course you will also need an internal routing friendly bar-to-stem, and opening in the frame to make it all work internally. There is a good amount of adjustability from what we’re told – but it may not be ideal for anyone who likes their brakes far away from the grip, or tilted up or down at a more extreme angle. And that means the position of the brake lever body itself will be somewhat limited by the location of the pre-cut hole/port. The trail bike they show here is built with a carbon bar from Bike-Ahead Composites. The trick there of course is that it will only work with a compatible bar with the correct hole in it.
Then, through a small hole in a compatible mountain bike bar, the external brake lever pulls an internal sliding rod to activate the internal master cylinder. The hydraulics themselves are in a contained unit that slides into the end of a standard handlebar, just like a bar plug. The entire system is actually relatively simple, and shouldn’t be that difficult to set up or maintain. However, they also point out that the design is about more than just looks – because the design allows them to use a ‘pull cylinder’ instead of a ‘push cylinder’, we’re told that the levers should offer improved functionality while protecting the master cylinder in the event of a crash. Putting the brake master cylinder & brake lines inside results in a clean & tidy look, promising improved protection and also better aerodynamics. Magura calls their Cockpit Integration (MCi) the “world’s first hydraulic brake… fully integrated into the handlebar”.
