What Magura Break to use?

There are so many different models of Magura breaks on the market now: HS 11 HS 11 Evo II HS 33 HS 33 Evo II HS 33 Firm Tech Will all of them fit on the Magura 4 bolt posts on the KH brand with the adaptors provided? Is the HS 11 inferior to the HS 33? What are the differences between each model? Unicorn

Lower cost brake option

Is there a lower cost brake option than the Maguras? I know they are terrific, hydraulic, and expensive. But…I just need something to add some control in descents to prevent gaining too much speed…doesn’t need to be trials quality or be capable of holding with great precision, just a bit of friction when needed when going downhill. Is there a cable-based (versus hydraulic) brake system that will mount on Magura compatible mounts on a KH series unicycle? Thanks. Carey

I have a V-Brake on my KH29 because I pick up speed with it going down hills.

I used to have a V-Brake on my KH24 but took it off because I rarely used it when doing technical MUni. Now I am going downhilling old Garbage mounds. ( Usually about 30 to 60 meters high with a 60% incline!) I am thinking of putting a Magura on. Chain reaction bikes does have good prices.
