Magura announces new MT5 Pro Special Edition

For the start of the 2023 season Magura has introduced the MT5 with 1-finger HC lever blade and Storm HC rotors (203 mm / 180 mm) as a bundle.

The long standing MT5, known for providing the kind of braking power ideal for bike parks, as well as for trails and day-to-day urban biking, is positioned at price point which provides many with a first Magura experience.

For 2023 Magura is taking the proven ergonomics of the MT7 PRO and making these available at the MT5’s price level.

  • As a Special Edition, the MT5 PRO is only available in a set with Magura Storm HC rotors* (180 mm / 203 mm). *The rotor for trail and gravity use with a moderate weight.
  • The bundle gives you a 15% discount on the single purchase price. Available now.

The lever blade can now also be placed even closer to the handlebars – perfect for smaller hands. For a clean design, the MT5 Pro relies on a grip width adjustment with a 3 mm Allen key.

The braking force of the MT5 remains unchanged. One-piece, forged 4-piston callipers also make the MT5 Pro one of the strongest and most easily modulated brakes on the market. Multiple awards and proven for years by stars such as Fabio Wibmer.

2022 saw the brand changed the product description of the CT to MT C for the 2023 model year as part of the rollout of a new naming strategy for the company’s disc brakes. Future product innovations will be consistently included in this new naming strategy, whilst the descriptions of the existing MT model series (MT5, MT7, MT8, etc.) is retained.
