MT5e HC Disc Brake

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The MT5e HC Disc Brake is the brake I recommend when someone is running a heavier e-bike build and needs stopping power that actually matches the speed. The four-piston caliper bites hard and stays consistent on long descents, and the HIGO Closer integration cuts the motor cleanly when you pull the lever — that alone is worth the upgrade on any S-Pedelec setup."

Heavier bikes moving faster down technical terrain demand brakes that were engineered for exactly that scenario, and the Magura MT5e HC Disc Brake was built with that reality in mind. Drawing on technology proven in motorcycle racing, Magura brought four-piston stopping power into a package designed specifically for e-bikes and S-Pedelecs, giving riders the kind of braking confidence that lets them focus on the trail rather than second-guess their speed.

The four-piston caliper generates maximum braking force across a wide range of rotor sizes, while the Carbotecture lever housing keeps weight in check without sacrificing durability or feel. The three-finger aluminum lever blade with ball-end is ergonomically shaped for precise modulation even during extended braking on long descents, and the reach adjust makes it easy to dial in the pull distance for any hand size. The HIGO Closer integration is purpose-built for e-bike systems, cutting motor output the moment the lever is pulled for a seamless, controlled braking experience. Compatible with both left and right mounting, the MT5e HC Disc Brake fits into a wide range of builds without compromise.
