Magura Hymec is back on streets in black
Magura's popular Hymec hydraulic clutch conversion for road bikes is now available with a black lever and matching master cylinder. Designed to replace the standard cable set-up, the Hymec kit offers up to 20% lighter clutch operation and reduces maintenance times and set-up errors as it is self-adjusting.
The forged lever comes pre-mounted in an integrated bar clamp and reservoir assembly, filled with mineral oil and connected to a bike-specific hydraulic hose, so it is ready to install. Instead of regular brake fluid, the German manufacturer favours its own special MAGURA Blood, which is non-toxic and non-hygroscopic, so there is no need for regular changes of the clutch fluid and it is less likely to cause damage to paint work is spilt.
An easy to install alternative to a mechanical clutch, kits are available to fit popular machines such as the HONDA CBF 600 2008-13, KAWASAKI Z750 2009-onwards, ER-6N 2006-09 and VERSYS 2007-10 as well as the SUZUKI SV650 1999-10 and YAMAHA FZ6 2007-10. UK distributor Venhill also offers a bespoke service for owners of machines that are not listed and will supply a step-by-step guide to measuring up for an accurate fit.
