My Maguras saw plenty of spectacular crashes and I didn’t have a problem. I did have the one finger levers though. Just don’t tighten them so tight they can’t rotate in the event of a good hit, but that’s good advice for any lever honestly.

^^ this basically. I don't tighten them too much and they have so far moved rather than broken.

In other news...I have just fitted a set of TRP Quadiem EVO to my girlfriends bike. Not tried outside yet, but just from fit and finish, they feel easily twice the price of Magura, which is just as well...

Yeah, so far they seem good. All I've done with them is bed them in (quite a lot of effort!), but she seems very happy with them. Very positive bite point and seem really strong. Still don't feel quite as brutal as my MT5 with big lever, but much firmer bite and they are streets ahead in perceived quality.

ETA - we got the '33' floating discs. They are expensive, but god damn they are fancy!
