- The Magura MT5 packs serious power into an affordable package. There's a reason so many pro's are using the MT7, which use the same caliper as the MT5. If you lean towards the gravity end of the riding spectrum they should definately be on your radar.

Actually Royal Blood is supposed to be blue, in many cultures Noble blood is referenced as blue blood. That's why Magura choose the name for their oil.
Which comes from pale white people not working on the field and thus showing of their blue veins thus royal blood is blue
You don't say
i was typing out a similar reply then noticed this one.
The tightening of the bolts is key. I f’d mine a few years ago. Great review, I’m looking at Magura for my XC rig, the SRAM levels that came on my bike are crap.
Great review and comparison. Thanks!
Awesome review mate I just ordered me the Magura 1893 limited brake can’t wait to try em on
Thanks mate. You will love them!
Hey. I was curious to what you’d recommend. I have an aggressive hardtail that I do ride on pretty demanding terrain. I use a 203mm rotor front and 180mm rotor rear. Since it’s a hardtail and the back end can lock up easier, would you recommend the MT Trail Sports or should I go full MT5?? Keep in mind that I am riding aggressively. Thanks! Great review.
I like the review. Just one Question, if you put a 4 piston caliper in the back for Magura Mt Trail sport they are going to be powerful as the MT5 or the MT5 still more powerful. To be honest the MT5 has a two finger lever an looks to big. I am looking for enduro purposes.
Magura has the HC lever blades, which are basically one finger levers that you can swap onto the MT5.
Did you have problems with slight vibration under hard braking? Still the best brakes I ever used.
Thanks for the clamp heads up 👍
thanks im having the same problem with my maguas trail suck compared to my old Hase 9s
Hey mate, was looking at trying out MT5's front and rear. Just wondering if you had to purchase additional caliper adapters?
Hey Arbee, Sram mounts wont work but magura and shimano ones will. If you have any shimano levers around you could use them and just purchase mt5 calipers too
@@trailtalkmtb6603 Magura don't make it easy to identify which adapters you need... Think I'll buy some Shimano adapters with the mt5's.
Good idea, that's what I did hahaha
@@trailtalkmtb6603 to learn wheelie, what brakes do you recommend, brand and type?
Weine bremsscheibe ist 0,3 Millimeter zu schmal kann man trotzdem die Bremsen benutzen?
Assuming these and the Shimano m520 are the same price, which would you go for and why?
MT5 have more outright power but I prefer the feel of the MT520 so the MT520 is my pick
Which brake pads do you advice for these? E-bike 25 kgs (enduro - all mountain). I mean for Mt Trail Sport
If you have the mt trail sport I would upgrade that rear caliper and put in the mt7 individual pads. The more stopping power the better on an ebike!
Blue for ROYAL blood kinda does make sense.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobility#Other_terms
now that I think about it there is royal blue
On what handle bar diameter do they fit?
Hey! Handlebars do not really have different diameters, they will fit yours pretty sure
@@iljamuraschov Yeah they did😃. Thank you anyways.
I think the weak rear brake thing is BS. Amoury Pieron uses a 220mm rear and 200mm front.
I'm a fan over the same brake front and rear just a bigger rotor upfront. But there are definitely riders who steer a bit more with their rear brake so I can see why he might use a bigger rear rotor
do these come with the rotors? do these come with pads and if so which ones?
Mountain bike brakes never come with rotors. They do come with pads.
@@skullsroad3642 Some shops might offer sets that include rotors, but that is very obvious in those cases.
blood is blue until it oxidises though....
blood is never blue.
About thicker rotors then other brands, its fake. Many companies like shimano, sram, formula and other use 2mm rotors.
Do not buy Magura. They do not have warranty if bought second hand and levers are not repairable only replaceable and no parts sold (ask before you buy)
When you buy shimanos second hand they dont have warranty too wtf
magura calipers work with shimano levers. lookup "shigura"
@@iljamuraschov but they cannbe repaired and you fond parts everywhere
@@InstaLabSparti magura can be repaired too
@@iljamuraschov where can you find parts?
