Magura (Germany) - Maximum performance and safety for e-bikes. With its new eSTOP brakes, MAGURA presents two disc brakes that are specially adapted to e-bike requirements. In combination, the new SPORT pads and the MDR-C or MDR-P rotors offer increased braking power and stability for e-bikes.

The gentle pedalling support offered by e-bikes brings a smile to riders’ faces – but it also increases the weight of the bikes. It’s a lot more enjoyable riding effortlessly uphill – going downhill, however, the increased mass and higher speeds pose new challenges for rider and material. 

3 Parts – One perfect system:

The eSTOP system consists of 3 components: the eSTOP brake models, optimized rotors and the new SPORT brake pad. All the components are perfectly matched to each other, offering maximum performance for the higher requirements of e-bikes.

The new rotors are specially reinforced to provide increased lateral rigidity and heat resistance with reduced vibration. For the first time, the two-piece MDR-P is now available in 220 mm diameter, offering optimum braking performance even under high continuous loads. The new rotor diameter offers 10% more braking force for the same manual force. All components are available either individually, as eSTOP brake sets or as upgrade kits. 

MDR-C and MDR-P rotors:

Optimized for use on e-bikes, these two new brake discs provide enhanced performance and stability – and they also reduce vibration.

The new MDR-C rotor is the all-rounder in the MAGURA E-bike Optimized portfolio – for city, trail and e-bike. An additional rigid element above the 6-hole mounting reduces vibration during braking, resulting in less noise. Heat resistance and stability have also been enhanced.

The MDR-P is a rotor for performance-oriented riders and tough tasks ranging from downhill to e-bikes and heavy cargo bikes. Compared to the MDR-C, the two-piece rotor saves weight and for the first time it is also available with a 220 mm diameter. A special feature of the two-piece disc is the patented interlocking of the outer and inner rings (Dovetail Interlink technology). The interlocking provides additional support for the inner ring if the outer ring expands due to heat. In contrast to floating discs, the torque is transmitted over the entire surface instead of just the rivets. The result is increased rigidity of the brake disc and heat dissipation that is much more effective under continuous load. Thanks to this new technology, the MDR-P is the most powerful rotor in the MAGURA portfolio, yet it still offers riders low weight and reduced vibration. Perfect for MTB Gravity use.

MAGURA offers a rotor with a diameter of 220 mm for the first time – the MDR-P. This rotor generates around 10% more braking force than a 203 mm model and 20% more than a 180 mm model – for the same manual force. The higher mass also reduces the risk of brake fading and reduces brake pad wear by 15%. The temperatures that are critical for the brake pad are reached much later by the MDR-P rotor.

MAGURA offers a total of five different MDR rotor. The MAGURA #customizeyourbrake Buyers Guide will help you to select and compare the properties of rotor.

RRP MDR-C: 30,00 € - RRP MDR-P: 55,00 €.
