Deeper Look at Disc Brakes with Jude from Magura 

Great presentation. This has been very educational for me as a new rider. I like the idea of customized brake levers. That seems important for riders of different hand sizes. Function is priority.

Give this man a raise! First sales rep who actually knows his shit!

I love Magura. I am living in Germany, about 15 km away from Maguras HQ in Bad Urach.

This has got to be the best presentation on brakes that Ive ever seen. Thanks Jude

this interview sold me on magura for life

I just ordered a front MT5e brake system from Jude at Magura. He was very helpful in helping me find the right brakes, rotor and mounting adaptor. Also, due to my hand issues, they are customizing the length of the hydraulic line for me, which they don't normally do. Thanks to Jude and Matt for their efforts. Now, let's just hope it all fits on my Juiced Ripcurrent S. Should be here in a few weeks.

I'm a Magura customer for life. I've have martas, MT8s and currently the MT7 trail combo setup. Jude is also super awesome. (my moto also runs a magura clutch system)

This is the most detailed magura video i ever seen

Never thought I’d learn so much from just a discussion on brakes.

This man sure knows his stuff It was a pleasure listening to him Respect

What a cool guy. There was a lot lot lot of good info in this post, and not just for magura but for brakes in general!

Very informative! Thank you for sharing this information.

I purchased 3 magura mt5e calipers two years ago and one was for spare...bleeding these buggers is not easy but when done correctly they are magic....for those wanting to share my knowledge.beware that Magura sell two different e bike blades...open or closed set up...check your System prior purchase.I use Mt5 on the rear with a 160 rotor and twin pads and 180 rotor on the front but with 4 kevlar pads (like the mt7 configuration) on the front.The braking is awesome just like on my sons BMW motorbike.. prior to Magura I had Chinese..Taiwanese..Japanese brakes and nothing comes close...my only quibble are the bleed screws on the handles which are easily damaged...but with one on top and bottom and they eventually come out when you use the elastic band trick....otherwise great product.

Thanks a lot for the informitive video. You guys were able to answer pretty much every question I had in under 35 minutes. Great job 👍

Very informative, great interview - THANK YOU GUYS!

First time I heard a Magura rep admit that the hc3 lever fits on all their brakes.

Awesomely informative video. Thanks for posting this. I actually just placed an order last night for MT5e kit with 220mm rotor for my diy ebike. Can’t wait to try them out.

That was super interesting. Would love to hear more stuff like this from the engineers about product design and why they made certain choices.

Good stuff....Running Magura on both my trail bikes. Best brakes I've had to date.

Well done informative video. Sometimes people get caught up in power and speed and can forget how important brakes are. Magura makes great brakes and its nice to see them make specific brakes for ebikes.

Great coverage and learning!

Absolutely fantastic video. I learned a lot, thanks

Honestly this was a awesome video 👍 so much great info.

Jude really sounds like an expert when it comes to stopping.

I ve recently installed the MT5 with 203mm F+R on my downhill bike, and i must say these are the best brakes i ever had

Wow, I learned a lot! Thanks PEB!!

Fantastic heads up guys on the magura options 😁👌♥️🇬🇧

I love Magura - the best cycling brakes IMO. I'm surprised the Magura guy didn't mention the separate brake pads in the quad piston design to further dissipate heat, which is different to other manufacturers. I love my neon yellow Magura MT7's :)

I don’t normally comment. This vid was excellent, great work getting all the juicy details!

I learned a lot from watching this. The rep knows his stuff, obviously. I swapped to Magura brakes this season, did the proper break in routine and I am very impressed by how well they feel in use. Never a noise, always predictable and a lot of stopping power. Only thing is my back brake lever has a small "dead zone" one the first pull. Second pull and it's fine. Probably something gone wrong during installation.

wow, this guy is amazing presenter and talker. love him and magura. I own MT7 HC3 and they look and work great

Absolutely superb crash course. Thanks v much. How about one comparing Rohloff vs Pinion gear systems.... or with a rep from Schwalbe on the differences of rubber compounds and grip profiles ??? Please don’t stop these informative videos, much appreciated.

My Haibike is in the shop getting a new chain and brake pads this weekend.....great vid,that Magura salesman should get a raise,very informative.

Very nice and informative video!

Love such a technical talk myself being an engineer. People not technical sometimes have no clue minor details can make a big difference! Got very good experience with MT7, best brakes I had having quite vast experience on DH and Enduro bikes BUT with original rotors. On Sram rotors although 220 they didnt perform really well, whereas with oem Storm 203 on the front very well. Now got Bruni's levers and 220 mm MDR-P rotors front and rear, as for DH rear is hack an important brake and hope this ends my ultimate break set search for a long time.

Very informative, keep up the good work. Nice greetings from Austria 🇦🇹!

Great details. Thanks

That was awesome THANK YOU.

That was so informative thank you

Thanks for the cool video! I have MT5 brakes, and I know the Magura 8.P pads (4 individual pads per caliper) and 9.P pads (pads joined in pairs) both fit - does anyone know the advantage of the 8.P pads that have the 4 individual pieces?

Great video!! 🤘🤘

ive a rad power bike,so im gonna have to see if they work on my bike,red higo connector but i have to see if closed or open system,thank you for the video

Great technical video!

Outstanding. Well done.

I know this was 3 years ago, but great video and still germane to present day!

Wow! Those are a lot of cooool informations 🙏🏼

loved this i learnt some things and some myths busted awesome great presentation from new zealand i hope to fit some magura mt5s to my reign e+ 0 at later stage

NICE VIDEO!

Jude did a great job explaining things. I've worked with disc brakes for years and still learned. Glad to hear which pads to consider ("S"). We are rolling up on 2,000 miles on our R+M with MT4's and it's time to check our pad wear. I usually look to replace pads when they get down to 1mm of pad. Is that still what would be recommended?

Were can I buy those angled Banjo please because can't find/see them listed on magura sites

Glad I stopped by.

I’ve got mt 5 absolutely love them

where i can find the adaptor to changue the angle of the cable? they show on the minute 25:17 in the video??

Lot of very good info!

Treating myself to the HAIBIKE XDURO AllTrail 5.0 2020 Which in turn led me to this video as there is alot of magura components in the specs Looks like I'm in for a real treat collect in 2 days cant wait I tell ya ❤👌🏻

So if I chamfer the brake disc holes the pads will last longer? Got it. Thanks! 👍

I have the MT Trail sport. But i have the 4 piston in the front. Is that wrong?

Perfect job, greetings!

What is the part# shown at 25.15 min? That angled brake line piece? Where can I order those?

Hi i have NAMI E BURN scooter the disc is 160mm can i use magura mt5 with 4 piston for this size of disc???

Anyone know where I can get the 40 degree hose connector?

Great informative video! My Haibike Full 7.0 front disk squeaks when when walking the bike...cant hear it when riding. Any ideas? Bike only has a few hundred miles on it.

I know many people mentioned but I’d like to repeat again. This guy is the best representative I’ve seen. Not a b*llsh*t at all, pure technical information.

Great I fomative videos

I would love to try a set of magura.I have a set of hybrid brake system for my mtb.They are both cable and hydraulic.They are pull by cable and the caliper is hydraulic filled.

Hello friends, help please, I am looking for the MT8 RACELINE SPECIAL EDITION where can I buy? Thank you

How does the weight of an ebike differ from the weight of the rider in regards to brake performance? I'm 235 on a 30 pound mountain bike. What if I was 225 on a 40 pound ebike? Still stopping 265. You mentioned ebikes get to speed faster and higher than traditional...thanks.

I always wanted Magura brakes since I saw those hydraulic rim brakes on trials bikes back when I was at school. Never actually got them though. Maybe on my next Riese & Muller when I eventually replace it.

Good crash course on disc brakes Chris. My R & M (equipped with Magura disk brakes), suffered from front brake chatter (screeching). Nothing Goofs up a great ride on your R & M until your squeaky brakes turns it into a HUFFY. Sam at Fullerton E-Bikes applied an aerosol "anti-squeal" which took care of the problem. Any thoughts you would like to add on noisy disk brakes?

Love the Voodoo Zocalo in the background, i have M7s on it...Daryl must have supplied the bike, he built mine?

Good stuff 👍👍💯

Just to follow up on what I wrote below.... Due to this video and Jude's help, I purchased a Magura brake system for my bike. The Magura MT5e and MDR-C rotor installation went very well on the front of my 2018 Juiced Ripcurrent S fat eBike. Due to bad weather, I haven't ridden the bike yet but expect to next week sometime. I currently have my ebike in a Park Tool stand, and from what I can tell from hand-spinning the tire, the Magura is quite amazing. I am looking into accessories and pads and I'm trying to understand the 4 types of Magura brake pads that appear to come in 2 styles; individual and connected pads. Not sure how to choose between the two or what the compounds are, but I believe I want the 8.S pads for an ebike. They do not make this very easy to understand. Also, Magura sells some colored bling rings to spruce up the look of the caliper, but for $38. I will find an alternative (like yellow garden hose washers). Can't wait to ride the bike.

Is there a direct contact to magura in the USA ?

Alway gone for hope brakes but I'm thinking of trying some maguras out

i ride with my index finger on the brake lever so i position it for that

What show was this at?

What camera/lens do you use to shoot this?

Oh and BTW, make the levers with the hall sensor instead of a plain NO/NC contact. It will perfectly work with the most of e-bikes and e-scooters modulating the e-brake ( recuperation ) force

Hey Jude! You mention how with cars you really can’t adjust brakes “on the fly”. Well, in recent years a thing has emerged in the auto industry called “adaptive brake control (abc) which essentially calculates how a drives uses his brakes and adjusts them automatically for optimum efficiency. I’ve noticed bike brake technology moving more towards techy things like ABS. How long to you think it will be before we see adaptive brake control on bikes? Possibly a small centralized computer module for things such as this as well as analytics, where you can download the gathered analytics of a ride from a removable chip, impit it directly into a computer or your phone and recalibrate your bike. Then I set the chip back into the onboard computer module and essentially have a fully customized ride, from brakes, shocks, transmission, even tire pressure? Very interesting stuff!

Jude Monica is the best!

Jude Monica is awesome...nuff said!

Sold!

What about this combination : mt7 calipers with mt5 levers?

29:10 "... heat cycle it ... without overheating it." Great informative questions Chris & great answers.

Love my MT5 with HC1 levers! Never mind to change it.

Jude, if you see this post can you please clarify the differences between the MT5e and the MT5eStop? It is not appearent from looking at the Magura site and other bike owners are asking me. All I can see from your site is a different lever offering and the MT5e has the normally open safety switch whereas the eStop does not. Please clarify if you will.

I just ordered a set of Trail SL brakes. They are back ordered till the end of the month (hopefully), I was told my Shimano rotors would work, how much of a sacrifice am I making by not upgrading my rotors as well?

can these be fitted on a .....reg beach cruiser .....with no gear's single speed only ????????

Magura only makes the hydraulic brake system? No mechanical?

Slick roads in summer caused by a thin layer of rubber aswell as oil when the first rain comes it settles on top

I’m using the MT Trail for about 2 years now, and I have no complaints. I even convinced people to buy maguras, that were using shimanos or SRAM. By the way, I’m trying to use Bionol this week. That should deal with the boiling temperature.

I'm getting mt8s in new year can't wait

We have two Cannondale e-Bikes with Magura disc brakes. They wake the hole city, when its raining and we are brakeing. I am so old that I can remember ordinary cars got disc brakes, and they also had problems with squiking and vibrations. My quistion is - Why have you not contacted the automobil industrie to get their experiences.

Wish i had the money for a pair of mt5 or mt7 brakes, but my sram guide t are still working good.

Did he just say HC3 Levers are compatible with all Magura brakesets? So it's good with MT5s?

Can u really put Magura HC3 or a MT7 HC1 Lever on a MT5 Brake? I really like the tool free reach adjust on the MT7 lever. Some say u can do it, some say other

Very difficult to bed in the brake pads but when they are oh yes ..Power!!!

Can anyone tell me what part name of this item ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y-CJiPer42Y.html? Thanks

Magura for life

Top bloke, just got a set of mt5, was gutted they never fitted my diverge with an adapter, had to go for mt4 :/
