Magura MT7 brakes are SUPER stoppers!

Magura MT7 brakes installed on the 2020 Kenevo by the team at Berkshire Cycles. They are a super powerful 4 piston brake. Single piece forged aluminium callipers with new MDR-P discs paired with Loic Bruni levers for the complete package!
Brakes cost about £150 each (can hunt around for deals!) and the Loic Bruni levers andMDR-P rotors are added extras.

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL - Took a couple of weeks out now BACK! Looking forward to 2020 ebike antics! What you guys got planned? Bikes / Upgrades / Trips?

[@adammccarthy2157]

Rob Rides EMTB just fitted a Vorsprung Smashpot coil conversion to my Lyrik on my 2020 Commencal Metapower Sx to match the coil on the rear , best upgrade I've ever made!!!

[@jamesratcliffe3272]

How are your trips going so far this year?

[@dukeofmtb]

I love my MT7s. I'm an hc3 lever guy though, so much so, that I even put the hc3 levers on my wife's MT5s. Turns out the hc3 levers fit on all the Magura brakes, even though Magura claims they don't. Great brakes. More powerful than codes and saints, and the modulation is somewhere between sram and shimano brakes.

[@Adasrast]

I’m using my MT7 with HC3 Levers, metallic pads and Hope floating rotors for over two years now. Best brakes I have ever owned. Super easy to bleed, super powerful, tons of modulation👍🏻👍🏻

[@vasekhajdur6393]

Hi Adam, what pads do you used? don't you have problems with pistons in calipers when using metal pads? Thanks

[@Adasrast]

@@vasekhajdur6393 I’m using “Uberbike race matrix“ white metallic pads. No, never had any problems. But I also clean pistons quite often using cotton buds with isopropyl alcohol. I love sound of metallic pads👍🏻

[@thomaslarson5951]

I just purchased the specialized Turbo levo s works. I upgraded the brakes to the magura mt7 anniversary breaks with a 220 mm front rotor and a 203 in the back... Under most circumstances their whisper quiet and modulate beautifully, however when it gets really steep and I have to dig into the brakes deeply for more stopping power, they shutter like crazy, until the bike finally comes to a stop. The bike shop has worked on these breaks, and tried everything that they know to get them to function properly, I'm confident that the technicians know the ins and outs of how to make these brakes work properly however they have been unsuccessful, and they've had my bike now going on the second week. No amount of cleaning the discs, sanding down the pads, and attempting to bed the pads in properly, or checking the mounting adapters has proved to solve the problem. I spent more money to have what I thought would be the best breaks in the whole wide world with maximum stopping power and performance and modulation, and they have turned out to be the worst breaking experience I have ever experienced in the last 30 years of cycling. Any suggestions?

[@SimplySimos]

The first thing I done on the Levo was changed the brakes to Magura Mt7s the difference is night and day the performance is outstanding change the lever to single finger for more personal adjustment and they look good. One word of note is if you do get a local LBS to fit them make sure they are fully knowledgeable in Magura it makes hell of a difference. As I found out. I am sure you will love them Rob.

@@-zerocool- No, I'm conserving money right now, so I haven't acted yet. I happened to have my old Cannondale Jekyl out of the shed the other day, and had to jump on for a minute. The first thing that jumped out at me what how much more powerful the Magura brakes felt in comparison to my Levo. It's really night and day. Mind you, the Jekyl is 36lbs and the Levo is obviously more. I'm not a technical bike person - it may be that the Levo brakes are super for the Levo's larger rotor size. I'm just speaking as someone who used to love the stopping power of my brakes, and now find the Levo's weak. I'll need to do more investigation before I spend money on a switch, but I can imagine getting hurt on the Levo with the weaker brakes.

I think it's because of too many negative reviews about the levers and the idea that they're hard to bleed. In reality, they're ridiculously easy to bleed if you know the trick: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ2bgXaeh8aXjpI Sure, the stock levers suck on some of the models, but if you have the HC levers, it's a different story. Get hc3 levers and you'll be ruined for life. Maybe only the Trickstuff DH brakes could beat the lever feel of hc3. But even then, they're not worth the extra cost. I'm probably gonna run Maguras for life due to how hassle free they've been on 4 bikes for me.

What are you talking about!?? The Code Series is a proven DH Brake. Saints too, but the modulation is horrible. It’s digital...on or off.

[@tamasvarga67]

Marc28031984 What are you talking about? Saints are one finger brakes with excellent modulation, you modulate with the power you pull the lever with your pointing finger. I’m using them on two bikes for four years in all conditions, I’d never give my money for anything else. SRAM brakes’ modulation is a marketing term for lack of braking power (that’s one reason you see 220 rotors). If you are used to SRAM then the power of the Shimano brakes seem overwhelming (just like the MT7’s for Rob in the video) but actually, they just work properly and you have the same power on the bottom as you had on the top. Code RSC with 220 rotors might be OK but two of my bikes came with Guide RS and RE and their lack of power a.k.a. ‘excellent modulation’ was a dreadful experience for me - after using Shimano brakes before - and the sticky plungers in the levers in summertime didn’t help either. I gave them a chance because I liked their look but eventually, I had to switch to Shimano because in the mountains they were terrifying for me.

If they're noisy and squealy, then it's due to an inadequate bed in. If they were fine before but only started up recently, then take the pads out and wash them with dish soap. Clean your rotors with dish soap too. A few hard stops after that should have them good to go again.

I haven't used Hydraulic brakes since the evil circle of leaking Shimano brake, which I gave up on. I currently use TRP Spyke. so far most recommended brakes from my Instagram followers is Magura & Trickstuff. With SHimano I read they are death traps, and they worked for years, some are lucky I guess, to get brakes that does not have faulty seals or failures. Some say the more expensive shimano brakes will do good from SLX and up. but I just given up on shimano, if they can't make proper budget brake that has good quality control and don't leak I am not having the same thing happen to me over and over again, I am done. I wish I could test stuff without buying it. butt the current setup is not perfect, but at least I don't have to deal predictable inconsistency, leaks. but the weak point of TRP spyke is flimsy levers, and weak barrel adjuster on caliper that can snap on a impact or will bend due to rear suspension movement it destroys the threads on barrel adjuster, and bends it, so swapped barrel adjuster from another caliper & turned it all the way in, to minimize the play. I have review of the ML800 levers and the Spyke caliper on my website.

Great breaks and they look the business on my previous 2019 Levo. shrani.najdi.si/?1F/m0/2M7Pg4h6/turbo-2.jpg Bleeding is more or less straight forward, similar to Shimano, if you follow the instructions. Little fiddle to set up, if you don't want any small rubbing noise, as the pads are really unbelievable close to the rotor, even after 500km+. For 2020 Levo, will try new XTR and gave Magura a pass. shrani.si/f/2S/lC/2oZZO3i2/screenshot-81-copy.jpg O. I like those new Magura rotors, almost as new XTR. 😎

Nice looking brakes good calipers, but plastic shitty master cylinder levers- that the lid can pop off of.

How much did Magura pay for this video?

[@thelongestnameinthecomment9677]

Nothing, i hate when people ask that, they weren't payed and magura brakes are very good

[@nathanroberson]

😂 the worst I’ve ever set up. Good luck to those that buy them. After I have set up over 100 SRAM/Shimano break set. Never an issue. Magura in a nightmare every time. It take many many attempts. And you just have to sit and pray. Plan on $400 in labor to get them to work.

[@Skizm_admin]

Worst levers ever.
