Loic Bruni x Magura - superlight 1-finger lever printed on an SLM Solutions
Weighs 16g - I'm guessing it's their AlSi10Mg powder that's used for this
Although they talk about customising the ergonomics there's just one geometry for the printed lever so it's not mass customisation just production AM (€77.89 /piece)
I guess it's only being printed because the demand for such an upgrade is limited so it's not worth tooling up for die cast and the geometry is too complex for cost-effective machining
