Product Information
Full details
The Magura 7.R Race disc brake pads are high-performance components specifically engineered for competitive cyclists who demand reliable and immediate stopping power in demanding trail and racing conditions. While these pads offer exceptional durability and bite on technical descents, they are strictly optimized for Magura 2-piston brake systems, limiting their compatibility with non-Magura or 4-piston calipers.

FAQs
Are these pads compatible with 4-piston calipers?
No, these are strictly designed for Magura 2-piston MT series calipers.
What tools are needed to install these?
You will generally need a Torx T25 key for the retaining screw and a piston spreader tool.
Do I need to bed-in these pads?
Yes, a proper bed-in procedure is required to ensure optimal friction and longevity.
Can I use these on my daily commuter bike?
While they will work, they are a 'Race' compound which may wear out faster than standard endurance pads during casual city riding.
Does the package include enough for both wheels?
The package contains two single pads, which covers one brake caliper (one wheel). You will need two packs to replace pads on both the front and rear wheels.
Troubleshooting
Brakes feel spongy after installation
The system may have air trapped. Perform a professional bleed using Magura Royal Blood hydraulic fluid.
Constant squealing during braking
Contamination on the rotor is the likely cause. Clean the rotor thoroughly with high-grade isopropyl alcohol.
Pads rubbing against the rotor
Re-center the brake caliper by loosening the mounting bolts, squeezing the brake lever firmly, and tightening the bolts while holding the lever.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pads are compatible with Magura MT2, MT4, MT6, and MT8 disc brakes produced from 2012 onwards. Installation requires a T25 Torx driver or similar tool to remove the retaining screw from the caliper.
- Ensure the rotor is clean and free of oils or debris before installing new pads.
- Retract the pistons fully using a plastic tire lever or dedicated tool to allow clearance.
- Remove the old pad retaining screw and slide out the worn pads.
- Insert the new 7.R Race pads, ensuring they seat correctly against the magnetic backing or retaining pin.
- Secure the assembly with the provided new retaining screw.
- Always perform a bed-in procedure on a safe, flat surface by performing 10-15 controlled stops from medium speed to properly transfer pad material to the rotor.
