Magura MT5 Carbotecture® Disc Brake Set

Entry point into Magura Performance: Magura's MT5 Disc Brake

Tried and tested 4-piston technology from motorcycle racing and adapted for cycling, this disc brake set from Magura promises maximum braking power. Braking power combined with ergonomics results in a performance package that allows you to confidently tackle any trail and cross difficult terrain with relative ease. Of course, this disc brake set is also perfectly suited for s-pedelecs. Aluminium brake levers sit well in hands and allow for precision doses of braking power, even during longer braking phases. The use of the Carbotecture®technology in the brake lever housing gives the MT5 a lighter weight in addition to top braking performance.

Technology:

Carbotecture SL®:
New material developed by Magura consisting of a high proportion of carbon fibres embedded in a thermoplastic matrix. More powerful, more tensile, more flexible and more break-resistant than conventional, fibre-reinforced plastics or laminated carbon fibre mats. Ideally suited for manufacturing using the Carboflow® process. An artificial word composed of carbon and architecture.

Carboflow®:
A process new developed by Magura that allows carbon fibres to be optimally aligned to the direction of force. Produces homogeneous, calculable surfaces. Significant weight savings are possible as oversizing is not necessary. There are hardly any limits to the design.

Carbolay®:
Lever fibres are embroidered on a carrier mass before they are covered with resin and allowed to harden.
