I was working on the $1 per gram policy, those are -240g for $600.
Very nice though, I have a few sets of Hope brakes still in my possession, might weigh my X2 Pro's and see where they come in. Need a full rebuild though.
Hold on for a while and they will come in ano'd colours.

Isn't DOT fluid the devil's oil?

The callipers look close to the x2, maybe the weight saving is all in the levers? Just a thought

Its ok, just wear safety glasses and disposable gloves when handling/bleeding.

Are there any advantages over a mineral oil based brake?

It attracts moisture. Handy for a drink if you’re out on the trail.

Here you go mate, I don't mind doing a GooGle for you.
There is a squillion debates on it and lots of pros/cons of each, personally I dont care which one, just give me good reliable brakes that are easy to service, they can run on cat piss for all I care.
BTW I do collect it all in a container (mixed mineral and DOT) and dispose of it at work in the chemical dump every once in a while.

Can’t say I’m down with carbon levers.
Why? I had carbon levers back in the day on my Magura Marta. Never had an issue

Just to see, my old Hope X2 Pros from 2008 are not far off.
The power would be way down on these from the new ones and these need a massive overhaul, pads are saturated with DOT5.1, pistons need overhauled, maybe new seals and they need new longer hoses as the last came off my singlespeed.

I'm carbon ambivalent at best and actively avoid it in places like cranks and handlebars where my lack of riding skill can lead to heavy impact. Brake levers are in the same category for me. It's probably more a reflection on my than carbon and its application...
Fair enough, but I thought you had a set if Magura MT5? The bodies of those are carbon somethings.
@ozzybmx your Spur needs downcountry brakes, buy now!
