Designed and manufactured in Germany!Magura Marta SL Mag Disc Brake System Pro Review
I have been using Magura Marta SL brakes for many years, and had always been satisfied with the brakes, but I always wanted a tad more power and modulation. Magura revamped the Marta line in 2009, and then sweetened the pot with a lighter version using forged magnesium. The new brakes have met my expectations and then some! Continue reading →

from santa monica Date Reviewed: April 28, 2009 Strengths: better design, more of a coming together of the best aspects other brakes in Magura's line up: cleaner looks, bigger+ better brake pads, easier to bleed, better carbon levers with considered intelligent design. 5 year warranty, excellent customer service, good availability of spare parts + aftermarket parts. Weaknesses: the first production run (which had been a very long time coming) has only a magnesium master cylinder, alas the calipers are the usual Marta SL alloy jobbies due to some unprecidented forging issues that will apparently be resolved sometime in the near future. this is not a weight weenie product, unlike many manufacturers Magura refuse to compromise braking quality with a flimsy fragile + unreliable brakeset. if you want to impress your mates with your (weight) weenie (bike) there are lighter brakes to be had, but if you want the best XC brakes you must make the sacrifice! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: humboldt county is really great Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $600.00 Purchased At: online Similar Products Used: Hayes, XTR, 07 Marta, 08 Marta SL Bike Setup: S-Works, KMC X9 SL, Schmolke, Syntace, Marta Magnesium, Race King Supersonic, SLR Carbonio Flow, 4Ti, XTR, SRAM X.O
