Saw this picture last night, it looks like a sick brake. What do you guys think?

they are ultra slim i guess and the fluid has gotta go somewhere.

that lever body look's awfully skinny though.

That's why Avid is often preferred (don't flame here) to Hayes when it comes to levers. Avid's levers pivot near the bar, so that the arc of the lever goes in the same natural direction as your fingers. Hayes has the pivot so far out that it's uncomfortable because the lever swings towards the stem, making your hands want to move side to side. Hayes could do with some ergonomics education.

i guess all the hayes haters are gonna be eating their words after this thing comes out. i bet eventually they will drop the hfx, mag, and sole and camino and just keep the new lever style brakes

who's a hayes hater,did you ever ride the el shitio's if not shut up.

the mags were class brakes but i sold them and the hfx9 were amazing for oem brakes,i just wanna change and for me the lever looks piddly thin.
