Are Magura MTB brakes good?

How thick are hope floating rotors?
Only available in 160 or 140mm sizes and with a black centre, these lightweight rotors are only 1.8mm thick as opposed to the standard 2mm – which gives incredible weights: 160mm is 78g and the 140mm is just 64g! Add the Ti bolt kit to reduce weight even further!
Are premium brake rotors worth it?
Premium brake pads use higher quality materials which typically have lower wear, and therefore a longer service life. Some pads are designed specifically for longer service life and will also wear more evenly than lower quality pads. It is important to pair new pads with new rotors to capitalize on this benefit.
Are Magura brakes plastic?
