My god. That has to be the ugliest brake on earth. Makes the TRP TTV thing look like a perfect 10.
Oh Kiley, I'm disappointed (although, not actually surprised) at your lack of "vision" on this..you're looking at the backside of a fork, and on a city bike, no less. You don't think that a version actually designed for a TT/Tri bike wouldn't be able to be sleeker?
You're missing the fact that those silver release levers eliminate all concerns over tire clearance for even VERY large tires...even up to MTB sizes ;-)
Besides, saying this thing is "ugly" is like complaining that an A-10 Warthog isn't as "pretty" as a fighter jet. The thing is, for it's intended purpose, it's functionally BADASS.

This would go perfect with Rappstars hydro SRAM brifters. Just hideous...
Aaah...but you're forgetting that hydraulic rim brakes don't require reservoirs. In fact, something similar to the RT6/8 levers would work. Much less "hideous".
If Magura was smart, they'd produce road bike levers for these brakes and/or the RT6/8 brakes that have cutouts in the lever body to mount either Di2 sprint buttons or eTap blips...
