Find original Magura accessories, components, and replacement parts atEscapa.Magura MT8 SL Postmount/Flatmount Brakes are synonymouswith uncompromising braking power and maximum stability at minimal weight. But the lightweight Magura lineup not only excels in performance—as confirmed by numerous tests—but also stands out visually 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.
This brake set consists of one MT8 SL brake with a postmount caliper and another with a flatmount caliper.
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 exceptional carbon construction and low weight—exceptional durability as well. The transmission unit is made of Magura’s Carbotecture SL material. This contains a high proportion of carbon fibers, which are embedded in a thermoplastic matrix. Thanks to the Carboflow process, Magura can optimize the material for load-bearing and design homogeneous surfaces.
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. Additionally, 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.
