Magura HC3 master cylinder with Hard Core Technology

MAGURA has developed its new HC3 master cylinder, which features its patented Hard Core Technology (HCT) for reduced internal friction and improved brake performance and feel, with racing and high performance road bikes as its target custom build audience.

The HC3 can be used with all hydraulic motorcycle braking systems, and is also compatible with ABS systems: a slotted piston and stationary primary piston seal is used to provide faster pressure balance in the event of 'ABS kickback'.
The 90-degree full-radial design, where the push-rod and cylinder sit at a right angle to the handlebar, is said to give more direct feeling for improved control. The three-way adjustable lever ratio mimics the effect of using a piston size 1mm below or above the selected hydraulic ratio; removing and repositioning the lever support bolt softens or hardens the pressure point.

The lever blade folds in the event of an accident, reducing the risk of damage to the master cylinder and increasing the possibility of being able to operate the brake normally after a fall, and advanced X-Ring technology is said to prevent the introduction of air through secondary seal ingress, which is a common problem on racing motorcycles.
Supplied with an external reservoir and mounting bracket the HC3 is available in 12, 15 and 18mm brake variants and 12 and 15mm clutch versions. It is supplied with a pre-installed switch for brake and clutch activation. The clamp retaining bolts are titanium for reduced weight
