Magura Gustav Elite Disc Brake Set
GUSTAV PRO has a little brother: the GUSTAV ELITE. Premium features, but not a premium price! The GUSTAV ELITE offers the same outstanding GUSTAV performance for heavy bikes, 2.5 mm brake discs and 194% pad wear volume compared to the MT A2.*
Extreme braking performance, reimagined: the new GUSTAV ELITE brings the proven technology of the GUSTAV PRO into a new price bracket. With 2.5 mm brake discs, extra-large brake pads, EASY LINK and a powerful, finely adjustable bite point, it is the choice for enduro, gravity, e-MTB and SUV bikes – wherever maximum control is required.

MODULATION IS KING:
Even the most powerful brake is useless if you can’t modulate it sensitively. By increasing the piston size to 12 mm / 19 mm, pressure within the braking system has been significantly reduced. This means less force is lost in the lines and other components – the result is a defined pressure point with unbeatable modulation. The award-winning benchmark. Nobody likes brakes that spoil the fun! That’s why Magura has doubled the time between servicing with the GUSTAV! Extra-large brake pads with 94% more volume and thick 2.5 mm brake discs with a 2.1 mm wear limit keep you away from the workshop.
Magura Gustav Elite:
forms the ideal pairing with the optionally available Magura MDR-S 2.5 discs. Thanks to their 2.5 mm thick friction ring, lasting stability is guaranteed even on long downhill runs. Furthermore, with this thickness, a diameter of 203 mm is entirely sufficient. Of course, conventional brake discs can be used without any issues. The 13.S brake pads have been fitted for optimum deceleration. They contain approx. 40% more material compared to the MT7 and ensure smooth and powerful braking, as well as extremely low wear. Furthermore, the special compound eliminates the need for a long bedding-in period.
With the GUSTAV PRO, MAGURA achieves the perfect balance of power, stability and controllability. The extra-thick brake pads with 40% more volume and the thicker brake discs double the time until the next service. The larger air gap between the pad and the brake disc makes servicing in your workshop much easier. Thanks to the double oil volume in the reservoir, the GUSTAV PRO rarely needs bleeding, whilst the new bleed valve ensures simple and clean bleeding. Thanks to the MAGURA EASY LINK, hoses can be disconnected from the brake lever at any time without special tools, and shortening the hoses is also possible in a matter of seconds thanks to the EASY TUBE concept. The GUSTAV PRO is optimised for use with Bosch ABS systems like no other brake.
Magura Gustav Elite brake lever:
The GUSTAV Elite brake lever integrates perfectly into modern cockpits with a 0-degree hose outlet. With a 7 ml oil volume in the reservoir – almost twice as much as on the MT7 – MAGURA has done everything to ensure that bleeding is rarely necessary. It is even ABS-compatible. The new PRO brake lever on the GUSTAV is based on the HC-W brake lever developed in collaboration with Loic Bruni, featuring an adapted minimum reach setting. It offers a comfortable length to conserve hand strength whilst still providing a crisp feel at the pressure point. In the event of a crash, a predetermined breaking point on the grip surface ensures that the brake lever sustains less damage. Thanks to the bolted lever pivot, changing levers is even quicker than usual. Integrated Shiftmix compatibility allows you to fit SRAM and Shimano shift levers to the GUSTAV.
Magura Gustav Elite brake caliper:
The solid four-piston brake caliper, forged from high-quality aluminium, delivers concentrated braking power to the disc. Four pistons with a diameter of 19 mm handle this task. The one-piece design increases stiffness and ensures a very responsive feel. Compatible with 2.5 mm thick MDR-S brake discs and standard Magura discs with a thickness of 2 mm
Magura Easy Link
Plug-and-play for your brake line: the quick and flexible way to disconnect and connect a line. And as often as you like. From model year 2025 onwards, EASY LINK is integrated into the GUSTAV and is also available as a retrofit valve for MAGURA MT disc brakes. Once routed, you can simply click brake lines into the brake lever using EASY LINK. No need for bleeding or other steps! Thanks to EASY LINK, the brake caliper and lever of the GUSTAV PRO can be delivered separately and pre-filled. This makes it easier for you to replace them in the event of a fault or a crash.
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 these new brakes.
The Magura Gustav Elite Disc is supplied with Post Mount brake calipers.
