MAGURA MT8 SL disc brake Flat Mount
Magura's MT8 SL stands for uncompromising braking power and maximum stability with minimum weight. But the lightweight in the Magura range not only scores with a top function that has been confirmed in several tests, it is also a visual highlight on every bike thanks to the use of a lot of carbon. In addition, the neon yellow accents ensure an aggressive look and instill a lot of respect in your opponent.
The brake levers are made with Magura's Carbolay technology, in which carbon fibers are embroidered onto a carrier mass and coated with resin. This gives the ergonomic 1-finger brake levers outstanding strength in addition to the exceptional carbon structure and low weight. The transmitter unit consists 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 use the material in a load-optimized manner and create homogeneous surfaces.
This version is designed for flat mount on the fork or frame. This standard is also becoming more and more popular in the MTB sector. The benefit is that the caliper sits closer to the mount, increasing rigidity. In addition, some weight can be saved.
Magura has also ensured that the MT8 is easy to use. The lever width can be easily adjusted individually on the lever. The brake pistons are magnetic for a quick pad change and thus guarantee a perfect fit of the brake pads. In addition, experienced hobbyists should have no problem bleeding the brakes with the help of Easy Bleed technology.
Due to the flip-flop design of the brake handle, the brake can be used for the front or rear wheel by shortening the brake line accordingly.
