FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the 8.R Race compound?

The 8.R Race compound offers outstanding, consistent braking performance optimized for the demands of cross country and downhill riding, allowing for more control in difficult conditions.

What Magura brake models are these pads compatible with?

These pads are compatible with Magura MT5 and MT7 disc brake systems manufactured from model year 2015 onwards.

Does this set include everything needed for installation?

Yes, the set includes 4 single brake pads and 2 pad retaining screws.

How do I properly bed-in new brake pads?

Bedding-in typically involves accelerating to a moderate speed and then applying the brakes firmly without locking the wheel. Repeat this process 10-20 times. Consult the Magura manual for specific instructions.

Can I use these pads for everyday commuting?

While they will function, the 8.R Race compound is designed for maximum performance and may wear faster under typical commuting conditions compared to a standard compound.

What is the product color?

The product color is listed as Black and Brown.

Are these pads suitable for e-bikes?

While compatible with the specified MT brake models, e-bikes often place higher demands on braking systems due to increased weight and speed. Ensure your setup is adequate for e-bike use.

Troubleshooting

Brakes feel weak or lack stopping power

Ensure the pads are properly bedded-in. Check for contamination on the pads or rotor and clean if necessary. Verify that the pads are compatible with your brake model and installed correctly.

Brake noise (squealing or grinding)

This can indicate contamination or improper pad alignment. Clean rotors and pads. Check that the pad retaining screws are secure and the pads are not rubbing against the rotor when not applied.

Brake lever feels spongy

This often indicates air in the brake system. The brake system may need to be bled. Consult your bike's manual or a professional mechanic.

Rapid pad wear

The 8.R Race compound is performance-oriented. If wear is excessive for your riding style, consider a more durable compound if available for your brake system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These brake pads are designed for Magura MT5 and MT7 disc brake systems manufactured from model year 2015 onwards. Always verify your brake model and year before purchase.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the bike is securely supported.
  2. Remove the wheel from the frame.
  3. Carefully retract the brake caliper pistons using a clean, flat tool.
  4. Remove the old brake pads by taking out the pad retaining screw and sliding the old pads out.
  5. Install the new 8.R Race pads, ensuring they are correctly oriented.
  6. Reinstall the pad retaining screw.
  7. Reinstall the wheel.
  8. *Bed-in* the new pads according to manufacturer recommendations (typically involves several firm braking cycles at moderate speed).

Care: Regularly inspect brake pads for wear. Clean rotors and pads with a suitable brake cleaner if contamination occurs. Avoid using oil-based lubricants near the braking surfaces. If braking performance degrades, inspect for wear or contamination.
