MAGURA Brake Pads Type 3.1 Performance

When every metre of stopping distance counts, the MAGURA Type 3.1 Performance brake pads give you the edge. Engineered for riders who demand the highest possible braking power from their MT2, MT4, MT6, MT8, or Storm HC hydraulic disc brakes, the Performance compound bites hard and holds strong — even on the steepest descents. These are the pads for racers, aggressive enduro riders, and anyone who refuses to compromise on stopping force.

Performance Compound – Maximum Bite, Maximum Control

The 3.1 Performance formula is optimised for peak friction and progressive power. Expect sharper initial bite and stronger overall stopping force compared to Endurance compounds. The trade-off is a faster wear rate — worth every kilometre if you ride hard and replace regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Which MAGURA brakes are compatible with the 3.1 Performance pads?

The Type 3.1 Performance pads fit MAGURA MT2, MT4, MT6, MT8, and Storm HC 2-piston hydraulic disc brake calipers. For 4-piston MT5/MT7 brakes, see the Type 5.1 Performance pads.

What is the difference between 3.1 Performance and 3.2 Endurance?

Performance (3.1) delivers higher peak braking force and sharper bite — ideal for racing and aggressive descending. Endurance (3.2) offers longer pad life and more consistent modulation across long rides and everyday use.

How many pads are included?

Each set contains 2 pads (1 set = 2 pieces) for one caliper. Order 2 sets for a full front and rear replacement.

Do Performance pads wear faster than Endurance pads?

Yes. The Performance compound is formulated for maximum friction, which results in faster wear compared to Endurance pads. For riders who prioritise stopping power over pad life, this is an acceptable trade-off. Inspect pads regularly and replace when worn to 1 mm.

Do these pads require bedding in?

Yes. Perform 10–15 progressive brake applications from medium speed before pushing the limits. Proper bedding in ensures the compound fully seats against the rotor for maximum performance.

When should I replace these brake pads?

Replace when friction material wears to approximately 1 mm, braking power decreases, or metallic scraping is audible. Given the faster wear rate, inspect every 300–600 km, especially in wet or muddy conditions.
