Buy Magura MT5 for Your Bike at BIKE24

For years the Magura MT5 has been a cornerstone in the portfolio of the renowned brake specialist Magura from Bad Urach in Baden-Württemberg – a company with over 125 years of experience in developing powerful brakes. As an attractively priced entry model, the MT5 brings World Cup-proven technology into the world of gravity brakes for entry-level riders. If you love tinkering on your bike or spending more time on the trails than at home, you'll love it: You get the technologies of high-end models – without any compromises in power and performance. The Magura MT5 series centers around the stiff 4-piston brake caliper, the finely adjustable and powerful brake lever, and the tuning options. Originally derived from motorsport and designed for even more reliability than the MT7, it combines the most modern materials and useful features into a high-power system for all-mountain, downhill, trail, and e-MTB. Magura MT5 brakes are also particularly popular with S-Pedelec riders who rely on high braking performance and safety. At BIKE24, you'll find all the models, sets, and replacement parts for the Magura MT5. Rotors are sold separately, but you can pair the system with Magura rotors like the Storm HC or MDR-P.

The MT5 Overview: From Standard to Pro & eSTOP

Thanks to its lever design paired with the powerful brake caliper, the Magura MT5 helps you brake, without breaking your focus. This means you can fully concentrate on your line in the bike park or in alpine terrain, even with your e-enduro.

Since you need the right brakes for your riding style, the Magura MT5 comes in several models. For trail bikes, you get the particularly affordable standard model with a 2-finger lever. The even more powerful MT5 Pro with 1-finger HC lever is perfect for brutal enduro action and high total weight. If you're looking for maximum durability for e-bikes, grab the MT5 eSTOP with SPORT pads and MDR-P rotors. The MT5e, on the other hand, offers an integrated motor interruption – perfect for S-Pedelecs. All models are fully customizable with options like brake levers, rotors, brake caliper color accents, and cockpit integration.
