Magura Louise Bat Carbon Disc Brake System
Product DescriptionLegendary, super reliable and powerful - the best mid range brake according to British Mountain Bike magazine.Magura Louise Bat Carbon Disc Brake System Pro Review
I have been using the very sweet Louise Carbon BAT brakes for just over three months, and they have turned out to be my current favorite stoppers. They are powerful, with good modulation, are quiet, fade resistant, highly tunable and have the bling carbon levers. The Louise Carbon is designed and manufactured in the fatherland Germany (actually in Laichingen), and for 2010 the Carbon’s come in a nifty race white finish. Continue reading →

from West Chicago, IL USA Date Reviewed: January 29, 2011 Strengths: Magura produces quality products! Good modulation, love the ability to dial in the pad contact. Easy set-up. Had to shorten rear line and the on-line video in combo w/the manual made it a snap. Mounting and adjusting the calipers much easier than my earlier Hayes brakes. Carbon lever adds a little bling as well. Get the later model with the easy bleed technology. I had to bleed the rear brake after shortening the line and it was extremely easy to do! Weaknesses: Light brakes compared to many on the market, but not as light as the Marta's. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Palos Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $250.00 Similar Products Used: Hayes 9's, Strokers, and Avid Juicy's Bike Setup: Santa Cruz Chameleon, Reba Team Fork, Magura Louise BAT brakes, Stan's ZTR355 rims, Kenda Small Block and Slant Six,DTSwiss 240 hubs, Noir 3.3 crankset, Crank Bros Candy SL pedals, Sram X-9 triggers, X-9 derailleur, Thomson X4 stem and Elite seat post, Noir Carbon Bars, Fizik Gobi XM saddle

from Moscow, Russia Date Reviewed: May 24, 2010 Strengths: Power, modulation, feel. You can setup it light with Ashima Airotors. Looks! Magura Louise Limited Edition (2008 model) in white! Weaknesses: Lever is designed for pianist! If you adjust the levers to be closer to the bar - free travel of the lever will increase two times. Not actually designed for big guys in the mountains - can be easily overheated Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Alushta Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $230.00 Purchased At: ebay Similar Products Used: Avid Juicy, Hayes 9 Bike Setup: Giant Trance X, Dt Swiss xmc130 15mm qr, XT, Magura Louise LE 2008, e.13 LG1+
