Magura recommend the 195 radial m/cyl with a 16mm diameter for bikes with two 4-pot calipers
Brembo recommend their 16 X 18 and 16 X 16 m/cyls for bikes using one 4-pot caliper


but Magura dont mention the lever ratio (that I've seen) and I assumed (maybe incorrectly) that most 16s will be the same ratio

I noticed on my 19x20 brembo that the closer to the bar the lever was set the softer and easier it was to pull and the magura seems to be the same. Is adjusteing the span adjuster making this affect? Also happens on Multi ones too...
