Magura MT8 Pro HC FM Front Disc Brake 950mm TOP DEAL

The Magura MT8 Pro disc brake with a flat-mount caliper delivers the same performance as the high-end MT8 SL model – at an attractive price. Fitted with a single-finger HC lever made from aluminium, it offers reliability on tours and in competition.

Excellent braking power with a 1-finger HC lever: the MT8 Pro disc brake from Magura

Thanks to its increased gear ratio, the MT8 Pro ensures a feeling of confidence at every stage of your race. With the ultra-light Carbotecture SL® housing and the aluminium 1-finger HC brake lever, you have its braking power under control in every situation.

The Carbotecture SL brake lever and the one-piece, forged and polished aluminium brake caliper not only give the MT8 Pro a high-quality, sophisticated design; together with the aluminium lever, they also offer maximum reliability and exceptionally low weight.

Technology

What is Carbotecture?
In the highly specialised motorcycling and cycling industries, MAGURA is synonymous with the highest quality, reliability and sophisticated components, thanks to our in-house production in Germany. Through the development of specialised materials and processes such as Carbotecture® and Carbolay®, we have made designs and constructions possible that no other manufacturer can achieve. At our production and assembly sites in Hülben and Hengen, situated in the immediate vicinity of our original factory in Bad Urach, we have established an extremely effective quality assurance system. Lightweight, extremely sturdy and, at the same time, offering absolutely reliable performance for years on end – for our MAGURA brakes, we achieve these qualities using several plastics developed in-house. To call them ‘plastics’ would be a real insult.

We see ourselves as architects of our materials: this is how our base material, Carbotecture®, came into being – a portmanteau of ‘carbon’ and ‘architecture’. A mixture of high-tech polymers and carbon or glass fibres is transformed into a plastic granulate through a series of complex processes. During the manufacturing process – from this granulate to the finished component – the carbon fibres are optimally aligned to meet the load requirements. Using this Carboflow process, any desired shape can be produced from the granulate via injection moulding. Compared with aluminium, the traditional lightweight construction material, our Carbotecture® offers significant advantages: whilst offering the same tensile strength and breaking strength as aluminium, Carbotecture® is 50 per cent lighter – in other words, it weighs only half as much! Carbotecture® is a dream material, but only thanks to our highly advanced machinery and processes: smooth surfaces in all complex shapes are possible. This is how we produce our brake levers, which are both rigid and lightweight. BMW also relies on the special properties of Carbotecture® for its motorbikes; for example, the clutch actuator on the BMW GS is made from this material.

With our Carbotecture SL® material, we increase this durability whilst simultaneously reducing weight by incorporating medium-length rather than short carbon fibres into the polyamides. The brake levers in our MT disc brake series, which has won numerous test awards, are made from Carbotecture® and Carbotecture SL®.

Another material is Carbolay®, which is manufactured using a fully automated process. In this process, the carbon fibres are positioned to withstand the required loads using a textile process and are then fully automatically impregnated with resin in a mould. This enables brake levers to be produced in Carbolay® with an attractive and ergonomically optimised design: perfect transmission of finger force thanks to high stiffness combined with the components’ low weight.
