    It's not modulation the thing you didn't like, it's actually brake power. Those brakes had too much power for you. If the brakes didn't have modulation you would have no way to slow down without skidding. To make them less prone to overbrake without changing brakes, I would have just put smaller rotors or changed the pad compound. But Shigura is def a better value proposition.

    No, you didn't "experience brake modulation", you simply pulled the lever too hard and had your center of gravity in the wrong place for the given time. Brake modulation doesn't mean the relative increase in force that the pistons push out at as you pull the lever further in. The modulation means how much "squish" there is that can be controlled before the wheel locks. And for the rider, brake modulation means the physical ability to be precise with the brakes and being able to control the braking force with your fingers, instead of locking the wheels every time you brake.

    Nice video. Shigura for the win. Have this setup on 2 of my rigs, (one two pot setup and one four pot setup). I use 9210s on my 4 pots because servowave ftw. It doesn't really matter which calipers you use (get the cheapest ones!), and it doesn't matter which brake fluid or lines you use. Highly recommend bleeding using a syringe on the top side and back-bleeding through the magura calipers for best results. Also, don't connect the caliper to the frame until the bleed is complete so you can get the air pocket that likes to get stuck in there.

    I bought a set of Magura Mt5 trail sport . The front brake is 4 piston, the rear 2 pistons. Rolled back in 2021, without mountains and steep descents. Regularly serviced, pumped with the original liquid. This year, on the front brake of 4 pistons, one began to climb out more than the others. and pressed the rotor with a skew to the brake housing. I cleaned the pistons, lubricated them, pumped them again-nothing helped-as the pads worked crookedly, it didn't get any better.
    Rear brake: the pistons come out unevenly - one goes further, and the other lags behind. One pad rubs on the disk, the second is fine. Cleaned, oiled, enough for a few stops, then again one shoe came out.
    I concluded for myself that all these games with Magura, Formula and others are useless. Shimano works without problems. brakes perfectly, informative. There are no problems with pumping, pads on Aliexpress can be found without problems, as well as spare parts for the brake itself. Why these experiments with crooked brakes?

    While I love your content, I’m a bit confused at your overall objective on this one.
    You said that in a panic braking scenario, you almost went OTB, so you opted OUT of modulating brakes. The alternative to brake modulation would be an on/off switch, correct? Basically, a light switch vs a dimmer switch.
    In your case, it doesn’t seem like less modulation should be the solution to your problem. You, or somebody else can explain if I am missing something here, but this seems like the wrong solution.

    to have some answer, to left clear obviously.
    in fact, you got points with the bleeding using with bionol.
    but the use off that shimano XTR lever are for recreational use, because that handle you used is very light, and again i give you points for do this kind of video, for those don't know this kind of brakes.
    but for other riders, make this combination requir more than a a few bucks to buying this things.
    for other side, but for those riders who do enduro or Trail, and prefeer more brake power ...
    the Magura MT5 Caliper, and shimano ZEE Lever , Deore, SLX levers are the exact lever to use it.
    for who do Enduro and downhill, Magura MT7 with Shimano Saint Levers are the key,
    both are made to resist elevate presure. so much the brake caliper like the brake lever.
    other thing to have clear, i don't recomend the magura hose... personally i choose use Shimano hose, cause
    the shimano hose are more stronger in case off impact o fall.
    all of this using Magura Discs, Magura MDR-C or the MDR-P both for E-bikes.
    if someone want's to use MT7 and Deore XT to combine, must have the aluminum pump for taht lever,
    because the Deore XT lever filters oil, by pressing it, the preasure made in the brake chamber (i have that problem).
    but evans let me tell you that it is a great video, also you took weight off the bike, which makes it faster when going down the trails.
    and sorry, my english is not so fluent... google helped me LOL

    For my Shigura I used brake levers Shimano Zee, Magura MT5-eStop calipers, special pads with KEVLAR and biggest Magura MDR-P rotors 220 front / 203 back. Reducing speed with KEVLAR pads is safer. The original pads also stop, but with them the chance of blocking the rear wheel is much higher.

    the easiest and cheapest way to get that on off feal is to just get a set of magura mt7 with the hc3 lever blades and set them the most towards the grabby setting and then slowly back off to get the modulation you want from the brakes. that is what I did and I have never felt any better feeling brakes.

    I run a saint lever and calliper up the front and a saint lever and Magura mt5 calliper on the rear, the saint comes on harder with not much effort and the Shagura offers more control through the bite point to assist with front break when needed. I could ride saint on the back also but I quite enjoi the feeling of the setup and seems to hold more logic for me having a powerful brake up the front and one to assist on the rear, most people burn their brakes because they don't realise that the back brake is for assistance and your main power comes from the front.

    I think you have Servowave misunderstood, it doesn't have anything to do with the lever, and it also doesn't multiply the braking force. It's simply a roller "wheel" that pushes the piston in the master cylinder, which alters the speed and leverage of the pistons throughout the travel of the lever relative to it, instead of the lever just pushing the piston directly like on non-SW levers.

    • @EvansMTBSaga

    There are tons of chinese carbon bike frames on places like Alibaba and ebay that claim to be the same quality and use the same testing standards as brand name carbon frames. You should get one of those frames (a common brand I see is BXT) and build it up so you can compare it to name brand frames.

      With saint compared to XT the major difference is in the lever. The calliper is slightly larger, meaning more heat dissipation but the lever pushes significantly more fluid with more power. You would be better off simply getting a saint brakeset or doing a shigura setup like the one in the video.
