Magura MT5 brake kit

Magura MT5 – 4-piston hydraulic brake (E-ready)

Award-winning choice. MT5 takes the MT7 genetics and offers an excellent power/modulation balance at an affordable price. The radial design of the master cylinder reduces friction and transmission losses for fast and smooth brake response. The 4-piston caliper delivers high stopping power in the mountains, in the city and on e-platforms.

Why choose

• High power + control: 4 pistons, smooth clamping and reliable bite.
• Radial pump: more sensitive start, more precise modulation, less fatigue.
• E-bike ready: stable work with E-MTB/S-Pedelec and e-scooters.
• Great value: MT7 technology for the price of MT5.

Compatibility and recommendations

• Rotors: recommended 180 / 203 / 220 mm (better heat control for e-platforms).
• Suitable for MTB, Enduro, DH, E-MTB, S-Pedelec, e-scooters, Sur-Ron, Talaria (with appropriate adapters).
• Fluid: Magura Royal Blood (mineral oil).

Benefits in real driving

• Shorter stopping distances and smooth modulation on technical sections.
• High heat capacity for long descents (especially with 220 mm discs).
• Reliability in e-platforms – stable power with higher mass/speed.

Installation tips

• Select adaptors according to the frame/branches and disc diameter (203/220).
• Perform the descent and bed-in procedure (20-30 medium stops).
• Use threadlocker for rotor/adapter screws; tighten to Nm.

FAQ

How is MT5 different from MT5e?
MT5e has a HIGO e-switch (NO/NC) for the engine cut-off/stop-light. MT5 – no e-switch.

Does Sur-Ron / Talaria fit?
Yes, with appropriate adapters and 203/220 mm rotors – a popular e-moto upgrade.
