MAGURA Brake Pads Type 5.1 Performance – MT5 / MT7 / MT Trail Sport

The MAGURA Type 5.1 Performance brake pads are built for riders who demand the absolute maximum from their 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes. Engineered for MT5, MT7, and MT Trail Sport calipers, the Performance compound delivers exceptional bite, high friction, and aggressive stopping force — exactly what enduro racers and demanding trail riders need when the gradient steepens and margins shrink.

4-Piston Power, Amplified

Pairing the 5.1 Performance compound with the 4-piston MT5 or MT7 caliper gives you one of the most powerful hydraulic disc brake setups available on a mountain bike. The compound is tuned to exploit the full clamping force of the 4-piston design — delivering sharp initial bite and strong, consistent power through the full lever stroke.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Which MAGURA brakes are compatible with the 5.1 Performance pads?

The Type 5.1 Performance pads are designed for MAGURA MT5, MT7, and MT Trail Sport 4-piston hydraulic disc brake calipers. For 2-piston MT brakes, see the Type 3.1 Performance pads.

What is the difference between 5.1 Performance and 5.2 Endurance?

Performance (5.1) delivers higher peak stopping force and sharper bite — the choice for racing and aggressive riding. Endurance (5.2) offers longer pad life and more consistent modulation over extended use.

How many pads are included?

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

Do Performance pads wear faster than Endurance pads?

Yes. The Performance compound is optimised for maximum friction, which means faster wear compared to Endurance pads. Inspect every 300–600 km and replace when worn to approximately 1 mm of friction material.

Are these suitable for e-bikes?

Yes, for e-bikes equipped with MT5 or MT7 calipers. The Performance compound handles the heavier braking demands of e-bikes at the cost of faster wear — ideal if you prioritise stopping power over pad longevity.

Do these pads require bedding in?

Yes. Perform 10–15 progressive brake applications from medium speed before hard riding. Full bedding in ensures the compound seats correctly against the rotor for maximum performance and even wear.
