Check the name on the listing
The X3 turns up under three names: X3, XXX and, on some listings, 3X. When a listing names one of them, the part is made for your bike. The OEM brake pads are listed for the Light Bee, Sting and XXX and fit the front and rear factory calipers. The 220 mm OEM rear disc is made for the MX3, MX4, MX5 and X3 and keeps the original caliper.
A bigger front disc for the X3
The 250 mm front disc kit names the Talaria 3X. A larger disc raises braking torque and spreads heat over a wider surface, so fade comes later on long descents. The caliper adapter and bolt set are in the box.
Fitting Magura brakes to an X3
Magura sets mount to Talaria bikes with matching adapters and a 203 or 220 mm rotor. For each wheel you need three things:
- A brake set: the MT5, the MT5 eSTOP, the MT5e HIGO in NC or NO, or the MT7 PRO.
- A rotor: Magura makes it in 220 mm and 203 mm, both two-piece with Dovetail Interlink and a six-bolt mount.
- An adapter: the Magura QM 46 takes a PM 203 caliper to a 220 mm rotor.
The MT5 eSTOP, MT5e and MT7 PRO come with a 2200 mm hose, long enough for e-moto frame routing. Spare 8.R Race pads fit all four calipers. Unsure which adapter suits your fork? Send a photo to info@fabiride.com before you order. Unused brake parts in unopened packaging can be returned within 14 days.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Talaria 3X the same bike as the X3 and the XXX?
Yes. Some listings call it the 3X, others the X3 or the XXX. A brake part that names any of the three is made for the same bike.
Which rear brake disc fits the X3?
The 220 mm Talaria OEM rear disc, shared by the MX3, MX4, MX5 and X3. Its mounting points match the factory dimensions, so it goes on without drilling or spacers.
How many Magura sets do I need for my X3?
One set covers one wheel. A front and rear conversion takes two sets, plus a rotor and an adapter for each wheel.
Which brake fluid do Magura brakes use?
Magura Royal Blood mineral oil. It does not absorb water from the air, and DOT fluid must never be used because it damages the seals.
Do the OEM pads fit both calipers on the XXX?
Yes. The pad shape is the same for the front and rear factory calipers, and each set contains two pads for one caliper.
