Magura MT5e HIGO (NC) brake kit

Magura MT5e HIGO (NC) – 4-piston hydraulic brake with e-brake switch

MT7 genes for the price of MT5e. MT5e with a radial main pump design provides lower friction, more precise modulation and faster response. The 4-piston caliper provides high stopping power even on heavier e-platforms. HIGO “NC” (Normally Closed) e-switch in the handlebar supports motor cut-off/stop-light according to your controller logic.

Why choose

• Power + control: 4 pistons = more power and smooth modulation.
• Radial pump: lower transmission losses, sensitive start.
• E-ready: HIGO NC switch for safe motor cut-off/signal functions.
• Wide range of applications: from urban to enduro/DH, e-bike and e-moto.
• Great value: more MT7 technology, more affordable price.

Compatibility and recommendations

• Rotors: 203 / 220 mm recommended (better heat control for e-platforms).
• Suitable for E-MTB, S-Pedelec, e-scooters, MTB, Sur-Ron, Talaria (with suitable adapters).
• E-switch: HIGO “NC” (Normally Closed) – check controller requirements (NC logic).

Benefits in real driving

• Shorter stopping distances and gentle modulation on technical sections.
• Thermal stability on long descents (especially with 220 mm discs).
• E-safety: instantaneous motor disconnection (if supported by your controller, by NC logic).

Installation tips

• Select adaptors according to the frame/branches and disc diameter (203/220).
• Connect the HIGO NC correctly according to the controller diagram(Normally Closed).
• Perform a dive and a bed-in (20-30 medium stops).
• Use a threadlocker for the rotor/adapter screws.

FAQ

What is the difference between HIGO NO and NC?
NC (Normally Closed) – the circuit is closed and opens when the lever is pressed. NO – vice versa. Choose according to your controller requirements.

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