Magura quote a lever ratio of 1 to 5 for the 195 range (the one you have)
and they quote 1 to 7.2 for their 190 range of Radial Mastercylinders.
Brembo figures refer to Piston Diameter and Pivot point position
Had a little look earlier and among my Jap bike mastercylinders I have
3 X Nissin Radials all 3/4" piston size and all remote reservoir (Honda and Suzuki)
1 X Nissin Axial with 1/2" piston size and Remote reservoir (From a Honda)
1 X Nissin Axial with 5/8" piston size and Integral reservoir (From a Honda)
I should have a couple more out in the workshop as its not that long ago I upgraded the one on the R6 from a Axial to Radial caliper | Edited for you Kev. Master  |
