MAGURA Brake Caliper Gustav ELITE
The rebirth of the Magura Gustav brings back memories of the "good old days". Known as the "Swabian Anchor", its performance was legendary, its braking power unrivaled, and the current Magura Gustav PRO continues on this path. It will also set standards in terms of deceleration, modulation and reliability. It will bring even heavy E-MTBs to a safe stop at all times.
The solid brake caliper, forged from high-quality aluminum, transfers the concentrated braking force to the disc. Four pistons with a diameter of 19 mm do this work, while the one-piece design increases rigidity and ensures a very sensitive response.
The Magura Gustav ELITE forms the ideal pair with the optionally available Magura MDR-S 2.5 brake rotors. Their 2.5 mm thick friction ring guarantees lasting stability even on long downhill rides. In addition, a diameter of 203 mm is completely sufficient for this thickness. Of course, conventional brake disks can also be used without any problems.
The MDP 13 brake pads have been installed for optimum deceleration. They have approx. 40 % more material compared to the MT7 and ensure quiet and powerful braking as well as extremely low wear. What's more, the special compound means there is no need to brake for a long time.
Because you naturally want to ride rather than screw, the individual components of the Magura Gustav ELITE are specially designed for durability. Not only do the robust brake pads and rotors extend the maintenance intervals, but the 7 ml reservoir also ensures that there is little air in the system.The slightly simplified design of the valve compared to the PRO is not a major factor in the extended maintenance intervals. Furthermore, there are no hidden corners or dead ends in the oil channel, so that every air bubble is pressed out.
The high manufacturing quality is also typical for Magura, so that you can wind down thousands of kilometers without having to worry about your safety.
