Magura MT5e HIGO (NO) brake kit

Magura MT5e HIGO (NO) – 4-piston hydraulic brake with e-brake switch

MT7 genes at an affordable price. MT5e with radial main pump design provides lower friction, more precise modulation and faster response. The 4-piston caliper provides high stopping power even with heavier e-platforms. The HIGO “NO” (Normally Open) e-switch on the handlebar allows the integration of tracking/motor disconnect functions on e-bikes and e-motos.

Why choose

• Power + control: 4-piston caliper = more power and smooth modulation.
• Radial pump: lower transmission losses, sensitive start.
• E-ready: HIGO NO switch for engine cut-off/brake light (by controller).
• Durability for everyday use and sport: from urban to enduro/DH.
• Great value: MT7 technology for the price of MT5e.

Compatibility and recommendations

• Rotors: 203 / 220 mm recommended (better heat control for e-platforms).
• Suitable for E-MTB, S-Pedelec, e-scooters, classic MTB, Sur-Ron, Talaria (with suitable adapters).
• E-switch: HIGO “NO” (Normally Open) – check your controller logic.

Benefits in real driving

• Shorter stopping distances and gentle modulation on technical sections.
• Stability in the heat on long descents (especially with 220 mm discs).
• E-safety: instantaneous engine cut-off by touching the lever (if supported by the controller).

Installation tips

• Select adaptors according to the frame/branches and disc diameter (203/220).
• Connect HIGO NO correctly according to the controller diagram (Normally Open logic).
• 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?
NO (Normally Open) – circuit open, closes when pressed (often used to disconnect the motor). NC – opposite logic. Check your controller requirements.

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