Magura have been making hydraulic components in Germany for many years for both motorcycles as well as bicycles. These brakes are no exception, deisgned for use on quad bikes and various other heavy duty machines, we have tested them to red heat! We trust them that much that they are standard equipment on our tandem trikes (GTT). One of the BIG's attributes is that they are made in a left and right caliper, this is a much better format for trikes as both calipers are mounted exactly the same way, not one upside down. If you are thinking of going this option, it is much better to speak up when ordering your new trike as it can get expensive to upgrade at a later date.
The brakeset is also available as a one lever operates both calipers. Known as the BIG Twin, this is great for customers who require all controls on one handle.
