Magura MT2 Disc Brake System

4/5 (3 Reviews)
MSRP : $93.59


  • Store Price

Product Description

As with the MT4, the brake lever supplied on the basic model in the MT range is made from Carbotecture. The lever and clamp are manufactured from aluminium. The two-piece brake calliper provides for a more economic production process, and Magura passes on this price advantage directly to the end customer. As a basic model, the MT2 is only behind its bigger sisters in tipping the scales, as it delivers the same braking power and optimum lever geometry as the models toward the top end of the range. Value-for-money even for the thrifty - and for all those who aspire to thrift. Rotor and adapter sold separately.

Strengths:    Price, weight, power, modulation and ergonomics.

Weaknesses:    Non really, the only thing is that the pads that comes from factory are the performance type and they run out relatively fast, now i bought the endurance type so let's see how much time do they last.

Bottom Line:   
They are a really good brakes, i love them, they are powerful, and have a very nice feeling. They really worth for the money.

Strengths:    Inexpensive, lightweight, mineral oil, well moderated (ie not grabby)

Weaknesses:    Lightweight lever and body made of mylon, so durability issues to be dentermined over the long run...

Bottom Line:   
I bought these to replace some squealing Tektro Comps whcih I bought on the cheap and they were cheap! I like mineral oil brakes so the only other choice is Shimano. I previously ran Magura rim brakes, so these seemed like a natural choice. The price was right, they are very light, easy set up, shortening the lines without bleeding was a no brainer. My 185 rotor was a little out of true, but fixable, then 200mm rotor was true. Both brakes bedded in easilly, run very smooth, power is gradual, so not grabby. I like that the pads can be removed from the brake without removing the caliper. Nice brakes, durability of the nylon lever and body TBD.

Strengths:    POWER, LIGHT, GREAT LOOKING.PRICE 259 USD FOR THE BRAKESET INCLUDING ROTORS AND ADAPTORS FRONT AND REAR GREAT DEAL

Weaknesses:    NOT A WEAKNESS AT ALL BUT THE INITIAL BITE IS BETTER IN OTHER BRAKES LIKE FORMULA OR AVID´S

Bottom Line:   
INCREDIBLE BRAKING POWER FOR A BRAKE SET UNDER 300 BUCKS, VERY EASY TO ADJUST AND WEIGH LESS THAN MANY OF ITS COMPETITORS OF HIGHER PRICE.
