Reviews over the
Magura 2* MT2 + Cover Kit
5 / 5
Bargain brakes!
These brakes have plenty of stopping power, don't fade, and just work a treat. I like the fact the pads come out of the top of the calliper without having to remove the wheel and that the transport device is calibrated to measure the pad thickness and disc-wear, very clever. Just be aware the owners manual doesn't describe the hose-shortening procedure very well - these brakes do not need a hose insert or "sleeve support" as it is called for the MT4 models and above; once you've cut the hose to length it's just secured with an olive and sleeve nut.
Pros & Cons
3 / 5
Effective entry level
Entry level calliper - but you need your wits about you - the EBT plug is soft - and the reservoir is easy to damage (threads) whilst bleeding. That being said - good value for money unit - east set up, progressive feel to braking after they've bedded in and consistent performance. Make sure you have a low range torque wrench or driver to complete maintenance tasks -
