Product Information
Full details
The BBB Cycling Disc Brake Pads (BBS-371S) are an essential upgrade for mountain bikers and daily commuters relying on Magura MT series braking systems who demand high-performance stopping power in diverse weather conditions. Featuring a robust sintered compound, these pads excel at providing consistent deceleration on steep descents and wet trails, though riders should note that sintered pads generally require a proper bedding-in process to reach optimal performance compared to organic alternatives.

FAQs
Are these pads compatible with my Magura MT7 brakes?
These pads (BBS-371S) are specifically designed for the Magura MT5, MT5e, and MT Trail (front) systems. Please check your brake caliper model number before purchase.
Do I need to replace my rotors when switching to these pads?
It is not strictly required, but it is highly recommended to clean your existing rotors thoroughly or replace them if they are heavily grooved to ensure the new pads bed-in correctly.
Are these suitable for E-bikes?
Yes, the durability and heat resistance of the sintered compound make them a strong candidate for E-bike applications, though BBB also offers dedicated 'DiscStop E-Bike' series if you require specific heat-sink support.
What is the difference between these and organic pads?
Sintered (metallic) pads are more durable and perform better in wet/steep conditions, while organic pads typically offer a quieter initial bite and are less abrasive on rotors.
How many pairs come in the box?
The pack includes 2 pairs of brake pads, which is sufficient to replace the pads on both the front and rear brake calipers.
Troubleshooting
Brakes are making a squealing noise
Clean the rotors with a dedicated bicycle disc brake cleaner and verify the pads are correctly bedded-in.
Reduced stopping power immediately after install
Sintered pads require a bedding-in process; perform several controlled stops to transfer material to the rotor.
Brake pads are rubbing against the rotor
Re-center the brake caliper over the rotor and ensure the pistons are moving freely and not stuck due to debris.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent stopping power in wet and dry conditions
- High heat resistance for steep descents
- Long-lasting sintered compound reduces maintenance frequency
- Includes two full pairs for complete bike service
Cons
- Sintered pads can be noisier than organic pads
- Requires a specific bedding-in procedure for peak performance
- More abrasive on rotors compared to softer resin compounds
Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pads are exclusively compatible with the Magura MT5, MT5e, and MT Trail (front) hydraulic disc brake systems. Before installation, it is recommended to clean your disc rotors with a dedicated brake cleaner to remove any oil or residue from the previous pads. When installing, ensure the pad retaining pin is secure and the pistons are fully retracted into the caliper. To maximize the life of your pads and rotors, avoid using harsh degreasers on the brake surface and regularly check for uneven wear patterns. If your bike has been stored for a long period, visually inspect the pad material thickness; if the friction material is less than 1mm, it is time for a replacement.
