TheMagura MT8 SL Flatmount Disc Brake issynonymous with uncompromising braking power and maximum stability at minimal weight. But the lightweight models in the Magura lineup not only excel in performance—as confirmed by numerous tests—but also serve as a visual highlight thanks to the extensive use of carbon on every bike. Plus, the neon yellow accents create an aggressive look and command respect from your opponents.
The brake levers are manufactured using Magura’s Carbolay technology, in which carbon fibers are woven into a matrix material and coated with resin. This gives the ergonomic one-finger brake levers—in addition to their extraordinary carbon structure and low weight—exceptional durability as well. The caliper is made from Magura’s Carbotecture SL material. This contains a high proportion of carbon fibers embedded in a thermoplastic matrix. Thanks to the Carboflow process, Magura can utilize the material with optimized stress distribution and create homogeneous surfaces.
This version is designed for Flatmount installation on the fork or frame. This standard is also becoming increasingly popular in the MTB sector. The advantage is that the brake caliper sits closer to the fork, which increases stiffness. Additionally, it helps save some weight.
Magura has also made the MT8 easy to use. The lever width can be easily and individually adjusted on the lever itself. The brake pistons are magnetic for quick pad changes, ensuring a perfect fit for the brake pads. Furthermore, experienced riders should have no trouble bleeding the brake using Easy Bleed technology.
Thanks to the flip-flop design of the brake lever, the brake can be used on either the front or rear wheel by shortening the brake line accordingly.
