Magura Brakes – Precision and Control for Your Bike

Magura, a company with a long tradition based in the Swabian region of Germany, has existed since 1893 and specializes in the development of bicycle braking systems. No off-the-peg goods are offered here. Rather, the products for the braking system are put together individually according to the area of application, because the possible combinations are just as diverse as the product range. Incidentally, the company from Bad Urach not only builds brakes and brake pads, but also other bicycle accessories such as the VYRON seatposts.

Magura disc brakes use innovative technology to give you the best in braking power and control. The most well-known models, such as the MT series and the new Gustav Pro, are among the top disc brakes. Here are some highlights of Magura mtb brakes:
 

• MT7 Pro: Developed for demanding trails, this MTB disc brake offers four pistons for maximum braking performance on difficult descents. Thanks to the ergonomic lever blades and the tool-free adjustment system, you can customize the brake to your needs.
• Gustav Pro: The Gustav Pro bears the first name of the Magura founder and is specially designed for the extreme demands of enduro and gravity riding. With its massive 4-piston system, it offers unrivaled braking power, even under the toughest conditions. Its oversized discs ensure excellent heat dissipation, which is particularly advantageous on long descents. The robust construction makes it one of the most powerful brakes on the market.
• MT5: This MTB brake offers excellent value for money. With its 4-piston technology, it ensures constant braking force, making it ideal for electric bikes and enduro bikes.
• MT8 SL: The high-end brake for XC racing. Its carbon lever blade makes it particularly light, while the 2-piston technology combines high braking force with excellent modulation.
   
  Another highlight is the use of Carbotecture materials in many Magura brake levers. These ensure low weight and high rigidity. Magura mtb brakes are also easy to maintain, so you can get back on the trail quickly.

Magura disc brake rotors offer maximum control and efficiency for your bike and are specially designed to give you the best performance in every riding situation.

The Storm HC is particularly popular for enduro and downhill use. It offers high rigidity and heat resistance, which makes it particularly stable and powerful for intense descents and demanding conditions. If you value a lightweight setup, the Storm SL.2 is the perfect choice. It combines low weight with powerful braking force, making it perfect for XC use.

Magura developed the MDR series especially for electric bikes. The MDR-C brake rotor is impressively stable and exceptionally heat-resistant, making it ideal for long braking actions and high system weights. The MDR-P goes even further: it offers the highest braking force and heat resistance of all Magura brake discs. The two-part design is extremely resistant to vibration and saves weight. The MDR-S disc brake rotor was developed exclusively for the Gustav Pro. Thanks to its optimized design and a thickness of 2.5 mm, it generates less noise while maintaining extreme stability.

Brake pads from Magura are specially designed to provide you with optimum braking power in every situation. The brand relies exclusively on organic pad mixtures with a metal content of up to 30%. Depending on the application and riding style, Magura brake pads are available in three versions:

• Sport: All-round brake pads with good properties for all applications. They offer a balanced mix of durability, braking power and good modulation.
• Performance: Brake pads for ambitious sports use. They are ideal for long descents and an aggressive driving style, as they offer consistently high braking performance even under intensive use.
• Race: Developed specifically for use in competitions. Magura Race brake pads deliver top performance under extreme conditions and guarantee precise braking even when intense heat is generated.

When it comes to rim brake pads, a distinction is made between four different types of rims: uncoated aluminium rims, hard-anodized aluminium and ceramic rims, rims with a particularly long service life, and stable rims for mountain biking.

Magura rim brakes like the Magura HS1 or Magura HS33 are a practical alternative to disc brakes for city and all-road use. Disc brakes are now considered standard on modern bikes. Nevertheless, the good old rim brake has not disappeared from the scene. The rim brake is the lighter and cheaper alternative if you are looking for something that provides strong braking power and is easy to install and maintain.

When choosing your Magura mountain bikes brakes, you must first consider what type of bike you are riding. Ideally, you should choose your braking system based on performance, ergonomics and design. You should also select the size of the lever blade based on the size of your hand to ensure an ideal grip. To optimally complement your Magura hydraulic brakes, we recommend that you also order high-quality brake pads and disc rotors from Magura at the same time. In addition, bleeding kits and spare parts such as lever blades or brake calliper adapters are ideal for customizing your braking system.
