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!
No joke, Jude is the single most knowledgeable yet humble rep I've ever crossed paths with. Love @magurausa!
this interview sold me on magura for life
I love Magura. I am living in Germany, about 15 km away from Maguras HQ in Bad Urach.
That’s really cool!
No wonder Magura is born in Bad Urach. It’s super steep there😉
This has got to be the best presentation on brakes that Ive ever seen. Thanks Jude
Jude is the most knowledgeable person I know on this topic. Glad he took the time with us
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!
Jude is great and I’m really honored he took his time to share with us
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.
Very informative! Thank you for sharing this information.
First time I heard a Magura rep admit that the hc3 lever fits on all their brakes.
My bad b/c it "officially" does not and is designed only for the higher end option MC, the Carbotecture "SL" which includes, MT8, 7, 6, Trail SL, Trail Carbon, Raceline, Danny Macs, 1893 etc.
@@judemonica7951 "Officially" it doesn't. My wife is running MT5s with HC3 levers. They work great. Just as good as my MT7s. 😁👍
@@dukeofmtb so they do work on the mt5's? I wanted to put them on mine but couldn't find out if they fit. Did you have to do anything like modify something to get them to work?
@@oggoblin295 No mods needed. Maybe just a zip tie behind the rubber nut cover to keep it from moving since the back of the lever rubs it a little. You can see it here: instagram.com/p/B4IhFRnnuVO/?igshid=lan33uwyz72a
BTW, you don't need the spring from the stock lever either. It's a quick swap. You're gonna love the feel of the levers. Feels more solid than any brakes I've ever tried. The adjustability allows you to perfectly match the feel of both the front and rear too.
@@dukeofmtb Hey, thanks for getting back about my question. That's great news to hear. Thanks for the pics too. 👍
Very informative, great interview - THANK YOU GUYS!
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 :)
Those MT7s are 🔥 🔥 🔥
Good catch! There is ALWAYS a little more information isn't there??
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 👍
Great to hear!
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.
Awesome! Let us know how it works out.
Great coverage and learning!
Good stuff....Running Magura on both my trail bikes. Best brakes I've had to date.
We’re big fans as well! :)
Jude really sounds like an expert when it comes to stopping.
I don’t normally comment. This vid was excellent, great work getting all the juicy details!
That was super interesting. Would love to hear more stuff like this from the engineers about product design and why they made certain choices.
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.
Thanks! We totally agree
My brakes failed halfway down a 2.5 mile hill (average grade of about 12%, steeper in parts) due to overheating....used my shoes jammed against the rear tire to get to the bottom safely - had to buy new ones because of the deep grooves cut in them!
As I was new to disc brakes, I had NO idea that the fluids had to be changed regularly. 🤦🏼♂️
Been running 11 year old Magura Marta SLs and am upgrading this weekend to MT5 - can’t wait to try them out!
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.
Honestly this was a awesome video 👍 so much great info.
Absolutely fantastic video. I learned a lot, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! Jude really knows his stuff!
Fantastic heads up guys on the magura options 😁👌♥️🇬🇧
Wow, I learned a lot! Thanks PEB!!
Very nice and informative video!
wow, this guy is amazing presenter and talker. love him and magura. I own MT7 HC3 and they look and work great
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
Awesome!!! They are pretty awesome!
Great details. Thanks
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.
Search here for the Magura bleeding trick that uses a simple plastic syringe, that process should get your brake working 100%
Great video!! 🤘🤘
That was so informative thank you
That was awesome THANK YOU.
Outstanding. Well done.
Very informative, keep up the good work. Nice greetings from Austria 🇦🇹!
Hey Helge! Glad you enjoyed! I look forward to visiting Australia eventually!
@@Propelbikes looks like autocorrect has failed you lol
Ian Barcellos it sure has. Either that or my dyslexia. Sorry Helge.
Propel Electric Bikes Nevermind 😉
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.
Thank Niall! I'm glad you enjoyed it. New chain and pads means you have been riding which is great to hear :)
He already earns 200k usd/year.
+Niall thanks! Sorry for the delayed response, but I agree! Jude is awesome!
Wow!
Those are a lot of cooool informations 🙏🏼
Great technical video!
Thanks! Jude is awesome!
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
Lot of very good info!
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
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.
Thanks Ted! I'm glad that you are enjoying them. I will add these to the potential lists. We don't do much with Pinion, but I do have video coming soon talking about drivetrains. I'll try to get more of these detailed videos at Sea Otter this spring and Eurobike in the fall. Keep the requests coming and stay tuned.
NICE VIDEO!
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?
I’ve got mt 5 absolutely love them
I know this was 3 years ago, but great video and still germane to present day!
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
Perfect job, greetings!
Thank you 🙏
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 ❤👌🏻
where i can find the adaptor to changue the angle of the cable? they show on the minute 25:17 in the video??
Glad I stopped by.
We are too :)
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.
Were can I buy those angled Banjo please because can't find/see them listed on magura sites
Anyone know where I can get the 40 degree hose connector?
Jude Monica is the best!
I have the MT Trail sport. But i have the 4 piston in the front. Is that wrong?
29:10 "... heat cycle it ... without overheating it." Great informative questions Chris & great answers.
Thanks! I’m just grateful to be able to interview this intelligent man. Jude really knows brakes!
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?
The recommendation is usually around 25% which is around 1 or 1.5mm usually. I think it also depends on how hard you ride. If you ride harder you might want to change before you have too little pad life left.
@@Propelbikes I see Magura lists the 7.P, 7.R and 7.C pads for our Magura MT4's. (The video mentions "S" pads?) It appears we would want "7.C" for quiet, comfort and durability riding around town - would that be correct?
As long as you’re not bombing down hills too frequently these should be great. They might wear faster but they’ll be quiet.
@@ferryengr "S" in another step toward longevity and silence beyond "C."
Alway gone for hope brakes but I'm thinking of trying some maguras out
So if I chamfer the brake disc holes the pads will last longer?
Got it. Thanks! 👍
What is the part# shown at 25.15 min? That angled brake line piece? Where can I order those?
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.
Either the caliper needs to be realigned or the rotor could be bent. These are usually pretty easy fixes. I hope to make a video on this eventually, but you should be able to find one easily if you search for those topics.
i ride with my index finger on the brake lever so i position it for that
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.
They are pretty great. Shimano does a great job as well!
@@Propelbikes Best might be Shigura: Shimano lever with Magura caliper, which I’m setting up right now on a friend’s bike.
Hi i have NAMI E BURN scooter the disc is 160mm can i use magura mt5 with 4 piston for this size of disc???
Good stuff 👍👍💯
Thanks 😊
+Racer X thanks!
Love the Voodoo Zocalo in the background, i have M7s on it...Daryl must have supplied the bike, he built mine?
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
What about this combination : mt7 calipers with mt5 levers?
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.
You can also paint the rings that came with the brake
@@thelongestnameinthecomment9677 Excellent Idea!
JUST A QUICK UPDATE; After a broken season of riding due to the pandemic and an old back injury, I have about 500 miles on the Magura MT5e front brake. It's everything I had hoped in a confidence-inspirig front brake. I only have 500+- miles, so my verdict isn't fully developed yet, but since there's no other 4 piston front brake systems out there for my bike, all I can say is it's truly superior to the dual pistin Star Union front brake the bike came with in every way. The Magura is NOT overkill. It's what a fat ebike should come with, but to keep the price down, you typically get Star Unions or the cheap Tektros. The Magura and the 2mm thick MDR-C 180mm Magura rotor are a complete win!
Is there a direct contact to magura in the USA ?
Jude Monica is awesome...nuff said!
❤️
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!
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.
What show was this at?
Sold!
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?
First point is making sure your caliper is perfectly aligned. From there making sure the disc isn’t bent. Outside of that uneven pads or contaminated pads can make noise. We usually sand the pads down and clean the rotor with alcohol. This usually does it, but sometimes the anti-squeal can help if those measures don’t fix the issue.
Love my MT5 with HC1 levers! Never mind to change it.
do you have magura rotors ?
@@robertwalker841 Yes I do. MDR-C 203 and 180
What camera/lens do you use to shoot this?
This was shot on the Canon EOS R with the RF 35MM 1.8 on a Ronin SC gimbal
Slick roads in summer caused by a thin layer of rubber aswell as oil when the first rain comes it settles on top
Great point!
I'm getting mt8s in new year can't wait
Hello friends, help please, I am looking for the MT8 RACELINE SPECIAL EDITION where can I buy? Thank you
magura-usa.shop.com
Very difficult to bed in the brake pads but when they are oh yes ..Power!!!
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.
Magura only makes the hydraulic brake system? No mechanical?
Top bloke, just got a set of mt5, was gutted they never fitted my diverge with an adapter, had to go for mt4 :/
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.
Really great! Keep us posted how the Bionol works out. I’m not too familiar with it.
I had sram codes and i couldn't stop, just got maguras and they're so much better it's not even funny
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 believe the main difference is different pads and rotors with a slightly different design accent.
@@Propelbikes Actually, I think I figured it out. The MT5e has a motor cut off switch and the eStop doesn't. This is aside from the things you mentioned.
Thanks for your reply
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?
I think its the 2mm rotor width that is important. Gonna order a set of maguras when i can. All my rotors are 1.8mm
Wish i had the money for a pair of mt5 or mt7 brakes, but my sram guide t are still working good.
SRAM makes great brakes as well :)
I'm not sure why, but Magura is the ONLY company that truly makes a real bonafide replacement ebike brake system on the market. Their MT5e brake system with their 2mm thick MDR-c 180-203mm rotor is more than capable of stopping a big-ass heavy fat ebike or a down-hill electric mountain bike without melting the rotor or pads or boiling the brake fluid. Unfortunately this is like the only decent Magura video that tells anyone this, and it's just one segment. The MT5e should be standard on every fat ebike and high-end mountain ebike.
can these be fitted on a .....reg beach cruiser .....with no gear's single speed only ????????
Yes if the frame and wheels have previsions for them.
@@judemonica7951 ok thanks again two thumps up
Did he just say HC3 Levers are compatible with all Magura brakesets? So it's good with MT5s?
I wish they worked. Everyone I know has endless problems bleeding and getting any power from them. It take about $400 in labor to get a pair to work for a little bit. It seems like you have to sit a pray or something. And I’ve installed 100’s of SRAM/ Shimano brakes without any issues. The old HS33 do work though.
I love my MT 5 s
