Magura CT5 Hydraulic Disc Brake - Post Mount - Right Lever

Magura CT – Ready for the City and beyond!

With a view to the high ease of maintenance, the latest coup of the brake specialists from Bad Urach is aimed primarily at commuters and recreational riders. The CT disc brakes, which are available with 2- and 4-piston calipers, are designed for Allroad use (City, Trekking, Touring) as well as light off-road use. In combination with the "Magura E-Bike Optimized" components (Sport brake pads and MDR-C / MDR-P brake disc rotors), they are also predestined for use on E-Bikes.

CT5 – Braking power & comfort for City & Light MTB

The Magura CT5 is a powerful and low-maintenance disc brake for urban use. However, it not only knows how to convince in the city with full braking power and comfort, with the genes of the proven MT5 it also copes effortlessly in light MTB use.

Comfortable ergonomics & carefree braking performance

The gear ratio and ergonomic features of the Magura CT brake levers are perfectly adapted to the requirements of city and all-road use. With a clearly defined pressure point,  low manual force requirements and simple modulation, the brake levers convey safety and control in every situation.

The  all-new axial master cylinder of the CT brake levers relies on an enlarged expansion reservoir, which reduces the occurrence of air in the system and ensures a long-term perfect function. The use of durable and quiet Magura Sport brake pads also underlines the orientation of the entire braking system towards low-maintenance durability.

Proven power with 4-piston braking force

Based on the award-winning MT calipers, which are characterized by stable braking power without overheating, the Magura CT5 caliper also relies on the proven power of 4 pistons. This ensures high deceleration values that allow safe stops in the city as well as in all-road use.

If the braking power is combined with the "Magura E-Bike Optimized" components, the CT5 brake caliper also plays out its advantages to the full on electrically assisted bikes. The quiet Magura Sport brake pads score not only with their short braking time, but together with the stiffened MDR-P or MDR-C brake discs prevent premature wear to ensure a constant braking performance.

Carbotecture®

A mixture of high-tech polymers and carbon or glass fibers is transformed into a plastic granulate in several complex processes. During the processing from this granulate to the finished component, the carbon fibers are optimally aligned to the load requirements.

With this Carboflow process any desired shape can be produced from the granulate by injection moulding. Carbotecture® offers significant advantages over the classic lightweight material aluminum: Carbotecture® is 50 % lighter than aluminum with identical tensile and fracture strength, so it weighs only half as much.
