My new braking system

[Mike.W]

I drive Aprilia SXV 550 (supermoto) and KTM cross . A month ago i bought a breake system from mark Magura which is teh German company.
I bought te breake sysrem for both motorcycles and it works great on both. The disc is very light and does not overheats so i always reach the ideal braking point.

I wonder if anyone has any experience with the products of this company?

Hi Mike, welcome to Off Road Club.


I have heard of them and looked through their website in the past. I have not to date had feedback from someone I actually know.

Thanks for the welcome Scuba

Magura is currently one of the leading firms in the product of braking systems for bicycles, but is currently trying to succeed in the motorsports world.
I watch the development of the mark because I see it supports a lot of drivers in Europe.

For once, I am very pleased with the product I bought it!

With the current development of modern braking systems, dirt bikes used on dirt don't need very high powered braking systems. Braking forces applied can only be effective based on two factors: Speed and available traction. Dirt bikes rearly exceed above 100 km/h average speed and off road surfaces don't offer ultimate traction.

Dirt bikes used in areas where supreme traction is available, such as supermoto, radial mounted 4 and 6 piston braking systems are widley available.

To put this into real world, road bikes have extremly powerful radial braking systems. Road bikes offer much more traction and therefore can sustain powerful systems.

There's no point having hugely powerful brakes which contantly locks the wheels, breaking traction and causing an accident.

Magura are have MTB braking systems, but also offer supermoto kits. I can't see any point of changing your standard brakes on a dirt bike used in the dirt. If you really want higher braking performance from your standard brakes, change the fluid regularly and use a softer compound pads.

...dirt bikes used on dirt don't need very high powered braking systems...

maybe ya'll should convert to drum brakes
