Magura MT5 eSTOP – 4-piston hydraulic brake (E-ready)
MT5 eSTOP – a version of the award-winning MT5 platform optimised for electric vehicles. The radial design of the main pump reduces friction and transmission losses for responsive braking and the 4-piston caliper delivers high stopping power. The 8.S (Sport) pads are the perfect balance between power, modulation and life on E-platforms.
Why choose
- High power + modulation: 4 pistons apply even pressure to the pads – shorter stopping distances and precise control.
- Radial pump: more responsive start, smoother modulation, less fatigue on long descents.
- E-bike optimisation: the 8.S Sport compound ensures stable performance and durability under higher loads.
- A wide range of applications: from E-MTB / S-Pedelec to Sur-Ron, Talaria, e-scooters and classic MTBs.
- Recommended rotors: 180 /203/220 mm for better heat control.
Compatibility and use
- Use: Trail/Enduro/DH, city, E-platforms.
- Rotors: 203 or 220 mm (selected according to frame/branch specification).
- Brake fluid: Magura Royal Blood (mineral oil).

- Reliability on E-platforms – with higher masses and speeds.
Installation tips
- Select adaptors according to the frame/branch standard and disc diameter (203/220).
- After installation, carry out the de-orchestration and bed-in procedure (20-30 medium stops).
- Tighten the rotor/adapter screws with a medium thread locking device to Nm.
FAQ
How does eSTOP differ from MT5?
eSTOP kit is immediately available with 8.S (Sport) pads and is focused on the needs of E-platforms (warmth, durability).
Does Sur-Ron / Talaria fit?
Yes, with the right adaptors and 203/220 mm rotors – a popular upgrade for e-moto.
