MAGURA new LOUISE ELITE, GUSTAV ELITE, CLARA PRO brakes, MDR-S 2.0 Rotors, and MDP 13 SILVER & MDP 13 GOLD/YELLOW pads.
MAGURA brings back the LOUISE disc brake: As LOUISE ELITE.
Reliable 4-piston power for a wide range of applications – with ABS compatibility, EASY LINK technology, and proven MAGURA performance.
With the new LOUISE ELITE 2025, MAGURA is making a strong statement for all-around braking performance. Inspired by the classic from the 2000s, the latest generation has been completely redeveloped to create maximum braking power and modern technology accessible to a broad target group. The LOUISE ELITE is aimed at demanding everyday riders as well as (e-)mountain bikers, positioning itself as a powerful and reliable 4-piston brake with excellent value for money.
For EVERYONE who always wants to rely on their brake.
Whether in city traffic or on demanding trails, the LOUISE ELITE delivers uncompromising braking performance with high heat resistance and braking power. MAGURA utilizes one-piece, forged 4-piston calipers made of aluminum, paired with 2.0 mm-thick brake rotors. The stiff system converts every ounce of hand force directly into braking power. Additionally, the one-piece caliper design is particularly resistant to leakage. MAGURA stands by its quality promise with the LOUISE ELITE: 5-year leak-proof warranty on brake master and caliper – beyond the statutory warranty.
Bosch eBike ABS ready & with MAGURA EASY LINK.
Particular attention was paid to the integration of modern safety and maintenance features. The LOUISE ELITE brake master is fully compatible with Bosch eBike ABS systems (modes: Touring, Touring, Trail) and provides the ideal technical foundation for precise ABS function thanks to its increased oil flow volume.
MAGURA is also using the new EASY LINK technology in this price range for the first time – a tool-free, integrated hose connection that enables up to 40% faster and cleaner installation. As a plug’n play connection between the brake hose and brake master, the EASY LINK technology also simplifies maintenance.
A brake you don’t notice – until you need it.
Rub-free, quiet, and easy to maintain. The new LOUISE ELITE is a universal talent that works subtly in the background. While the caliper is based on the proven MT5, its internals have been completely redesigned. New machining of the piston chambers and sealing areas ensures especially consistent and reliable piston retraction. This minimizes rubbing noises, even after hundreds of kilometers. It is complemented by the revised friction ring design of the MDR-S 2.0 brake rotors, which helps reduce potential noise.
Additionally, the LOUISE ELITE can be retrofitted for the first time compared to the MT5 with a bleed valve at the caliper, making service work easier.
The design of the brake is deliberately simple and integrative. Thanks to the compact radial brake master design, the LOUISE occupies very little space on the handlebar, simplifying its combination with accessories. The one-piece Carbotecture clamp supports the clean look and allows for direct mounting of shift or dropper post levers using MAGURA SHIFTMIX IG. Despite its one-piece design, the clamp can be clipped onto the handlebar without removing the handlebar grip.
Matching its compact design, the LOUISE ELITE weighs only 250 g* and is significantly lighter than its competitors.
Love at first brake.
The LOUISE ELITE also impresses in terms of ergonomics: the new Carbotecture brake master offers optimal ergonomics for a wide range of riders and features a textured brake lever. Whether with or without gloves, the precisely crafted LOUISE ELITE lever ensures an optimal lever feel in every situation. MAGURA has also made internal improvements to the brake lever, providing an intuitive and comfortable braking experience. A larger master piston helps create a more defined bite point compared to the MT5. The result is a distinctly firmer bite point that conveys security and power without compromising modulation.

MAGURA CLARA PRO
Safe and comfortable braking power for vehicles weighing up to 250 kg in total. The new MAGURA CLARA PRO effortlessly stops even the heaviest bikes and ensures long service intervals thanks to extra-large brake pads.
The new CLARA PRO is designed for riders of heavy cargo bikes, city bikes, and SUVs. With an axial brake master, it offers optimal ergonomics across a variety of applications. An optional switch lever enables its use on S-pedelecs and activates the brake light even before actual braking begins.
Similar to the GUSTAV brake family, the CLARA uses extra-large calipers for maximum heat stability, 2.5 mm brake rotors, and increased pad volume. The high braking power of the CLARA stops even the heaviest loads with ease, ensuring safety and riding comfort in every situation.
More miles. Less worries.
Extra-large brake pads with 94% more wear volume and 2.5 mm brake rotors with a 2.1 mm wear limit ensure long service intervals and maximum heat resistance. This is especially important for cargo bikes, whose weight and speed place unique demands on braking systems. With the CLARA PRO, annoying short maintenance intervals are finally a thing of the past.
And if the bike does end up in the workshop, a wide gap between pad and rotor, plus a bleed valve on the caliper, keeps downtime to a minimum and makes servicing easy.
MAGURA EASY LINK.
Plug’n play for your brake hose! An EASY LINK valve on the brake master of the CLARA PRO makes brake installation and maintenance effortless. The brake hose can be connected or disconnected at any time without the need for special tools. A real gamechanger for first-time installation and all service work on the bike, especially with awkward headset cable routing. And if a crash ever damages your system, EASY LINK is your best friend then, too.

MAGURA expands the GUSTAV brake family with the GUSTAV ELITE.
Maximum stopping power for the toughest jobs. With the new GUSTAV ELITE, MAGURA brings the outstanding performance of the GUSTAV PRO to a new price point – with Bosch eBike ABS compatibility, EASY LINK technology, and an extra-large pad wear volume.
The GUSTAV ELITE is designed for demanding riders of enduro, gravity, and SUV bikes – wherever uncompromising braking power, top heat resistance, and precise control are required. Because sometimes size does matter, MAGURA has taken several components of the GUSTAV disc brakes to a new level: extra-large calipers, 2.5 mm brake rotors, and new brake pads deliver unprecedented durability and control!
GUSTAV ELITE: Premium features. Without the premium price.
At first glance, the GUSTAV ELITE bears a strong resemblance to the PRO version. However, it features a more understated design in plain black and uses a Carbotecture brake master and a Carbotecture clamp. The one-piece Carbotecture clamp contributes to the clean look and enables direct mounting of shifter or dropper post levers via MAGURA SHIFTMIX IG. Despite its one-piece design, the clamp can be clipped onto the handlebar without removing the handlebar grip.
The high-quality Carbotecture brake master features a textured lever surface with raised polygon shapes. Whether with or without gloves, the finely crafted lever provides optimal grip and feel in every situation.
Optionally, the GUSTAV ELITE is available with a switch lever. The integrated switch activates the rear light before the actual braking begins, alerting following vehicles.
The MAGURA GUSTAV FAMILY: Superior modulation and consistent performance.
In terms of performance, the GUSTAV ELITE matches the PRO. With 2.5 mm-thick brake rotors and 94% more pad wear volume, the GUSTAV family ushers in a new era of bicycle braking, delivering consistent performance from peak to valley.
Due to their mass, the brake rotors and pads heat up significantly less and remain in the sweet spot longer. In this ideal performance zone, the brake provides optimal friction and stable performance. Fading is a foreign word for GUSTAV. With the new MDP 13 SILVER and MDP 13 GOLD/YELLOW pads, MAGURA also offers new options for tuning the braking feel and increasing bite.
When you pull the lever, you’ll immediately sense how intuitive the GUSTAV disc brake is to operate. By increasing the piston sizes to 12 mm in the brake master and 19 mm in the caliper, Magura has lowered the overall system pressure. This reduces pressure loss caused by hose expansion or elasticity. The result is a well-defined bite point with excellent modulation, regardless of the brake hose length, front or rear.
Despite their immense power, GUSTAV disc brakes offer an unmatched smooth and quiet braking feel, ensuring maximum safety in every situation. Even under full load, the stiff 2.5 mm brake rotors and low heat buildup ensure a vibration-free, smooth braking experience.
For more miles. Less worries.
Nobody likes buzzkill brakes. That’s why MAGURA has doubled the service interval with GUSTAV disc brakes! Extra-thick brake pads with 94% more volume and robust 2.5 mm brake rotors with a 2.1 mm wear limit significantly extend the time between maintenance intervals.
This is especially important for modern e-bikes, whose weight, power, and speed impose higher demands on brake systems. With GUSTAV, annoying short service intervals are a thing of the past. Additionally, a large air gap between the pad and the rotor, along with a new bleed valve, simplifies many service steps. The bleed valve is standard on the GUSTAV PRO and retrofit-compatible or included in the service kit.
Installation with ease!
MAGURA’s EASY LINK technology offers a convenient plug’n play connection for the brake hose. This allows the hose to be connected or disconnected from the brake master cylinder at any time, without the need for special tools.
A real gamechanger for initial setup and all maintenance tasks, especially with complicated headset cable routing. And if a crash forces repairs, EASY LINK is your best friend then, too.
