Brand | Magura |

Colour | Black/Black |
Magura is a Germany-based specialist of extremely high quality bicycle hydraulic brake components, amongst other components such as dropper seatposts and suspension forks. The functionality and attention to detail on their calipers and levers is outstanding, and they are used by professional cyclists worldwide.
The MT5 is a full-on gravity brake, with many proprietary features of the competition spec MT8, but comprised more of high-grade alloy than Carbon, to help with the cost of production, which means they can find their way onto your bike without a lightweight wallet! 8-piston total on a complete setup, these things will stop you on a dime. Best suited to downhill, they will brake sharp, so cycling performance may be inhibited or likewise the brakes may not be used to their full potential if applied to light-duty cycling, i.e. cross country.
Other Features:
- F+R compatible identical calipers, L+R compatible identical levers
- 2200mm hose fitted, can be cut down and reapplied with included kit
- Stealthy black finish for ninja recon missions
- Reach adjust for custom feel
- Rotor not included with brake
