Magura MT 5e Higo disc brake

The MT5e HIGO open-circuit disc brakes feature a power switch built into the brake lever. This interrupts the power supply to the motor when braking. Please check with your bike manufacturer to find out which version – Higo open-circuit or Higo closed-circuit – you require for your e-bike or pedelec.

The Magura MT 5e e-bike disc brake with 4-piston caliper and Carbotecture brake lever housing featuring a circuit breaker. Very lightweight for a four-piston disc brake, thanks to the aluminium brake lever and handlebar clamp. The high-performance brake utilises motorcycle braking technology for e-bike use, featuring a special pedelec brake lever. The brake lever can be mounted on either the right or left side; the cable length is always 220 cm

Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions when fitting replacement components to your e-bike

Contents of delivery Magura MT 5e Higo Disc:

Magura MT5e Higo disc brake, with 220 cm hose, fully pre-assembled and bled, brake pads, screws and small parts required for assembly.

Magura MT 5e brake lever:

The MT5 brake levers feature a high-strength Carbontecture housing. The Magura MT brake levers can be mounted on either the right or left side

• HIGO Open/Close: Power switch built into the brake lever; the HIGO Open establishes the electrical circuit, whilst the HIGO Close interrupts it. Please check with your bike manufacturer to determine which version you require
• Magura Carbotecture: A material newly developed by Magura, consisting of a high proportion of carbon fibres embedded in a thermoplastic matrix. More powerful, more tensile-resistant,
• more flexible and more resistant to breakage than conventional fibre-reinforced plastics or laminated carbon fibre mats. Ideally suited for processing using the Carboflow process.
• Magura Carboflow: A process newly developed by Magura that allows carbon fibres to be optimally aligned with the direction of stress. Produces homogeneous, predictable surfaces. Significant weight savings are possible, as there is no need for oversizing.

Magura MT 5 brake caliper:

The Magura MT5 four-piston brake calipers, forged from a high-performance aluminium alloy with new magnetiXchange brake pistons for easy pad replacement.

• Forged 4-piston brake caliper with 4 brake pads
• Magura MagneticXchange: the magnetic brake pistons facilitate the fitting of the brake pads
• Magura Anti-Squeal: The combination of a specially formulated brake pad compound and brake disc design counteracts noise during braking.
• Magura Anti-Drag: Newly developed sealing rings and an adapted piston design ensure that, even when used in sub-zero temperatures or extremely muddy conditions, the pistons always return to their original position and do not rub against the disc.
• Magura Anti-Heat: The entire MT brake caliper system is designed to dissipate heat quickly into the surrounding environment, preventing a drop in performance.
• Magura RHR: The new Magura brakes, MT8, MT6 and MT4, come factory-fitted with a swivelling hose outlet on the spoke side to prevent damage and allow for neat hose routing on various frame designs.

Magura Royal Blood:

Magura continues to rely on high-performance mineral oil as the brake fluid. It is completely harmless to health in the event of skin contact and, as it does not absorb water over time like DOT fluid, bleeding intervals are significantly longer. For optimal performance, bleeding is required every 6–12 months, depending on frequency of use.

Magura warranty:

Naturally, Magura also offers its well-known 5-year leak-proof guarantee for the new brakes.

The Magura MT 5 Disc is supplied with Post Mount 6 brake calipers.

You can select the appropriate adapter for your frame and brake disc size. Currently, almost all frames use the IS 2000 standard.

IS 2000: Side mounting. An adapter is always required to fit the Magura MT5; maximum 203 mm, minimum 160 mm on the fork and 140 mm disc size on the frame. Common on older suspension forks and almost all rear triangle frames

Post Mount, PM5: Direct mounting of the Magura MT5 with 140 mm brake discs, no adapter required. Maximum 180 mm, minimum 140 mm disc size. Currently only found on rear triangle frames

Post Mount, PM6: Direct mounting of the Magura MT5 with 160 mm brake discs without an adapter. Maximum 203 mm, minimum 160 mm on the fork and 140 mm disc size on the frame. Currently the most common standard on forks, and on some rear triangle frames.

Post Mount, PM7: Direct mounting of the Magura MT5 with 180mm brake discs without an adapter. Maximum 203mm, minimum 180mm disc size. 140mm and 160mm disc sizes are not possible. Found on some enduro suspension forks such as the Magura Thor and on some rear triangle frames such as the Liteville 301.

Post Mount, PM8: Direct mounting without an adapter for the Magura MT5 with 203mm brake discs. Can only be used with 203mm brake discs. Found only on downhill suspension forks and frames
