Magura has a few new items for 2009. They have revamped their Marta line (Marta and Marta SL) and added the new lightweight Marta SL Mag. The Marta line has the new EBT technology for fast and convenient brake bleeding of the completely integrated reservoir. There is a small port on top of the caliper reservoir cover that allows a quick connection and access to bleed the brakes. No longer do you have to remove the cover and play around with a messy more open system. I am looking forward to that myself, no more mineral oil all over the floor trying to get the brake bleed properly. The pistons and the pads are slightly larger as they more closely align with the Louise models’ pad sizing.
