Full details
This guide is for owners of Magura hydraulic brakes. The key benefit is ensuring optimal brake performance and longevity with Magura's proprietary mineral oil. A potential caveat is that it is specifically formulated for Magura systems and may not be compatible with other brands. Magura Royal Blood is a low-viscosity mineral oil designed as the hydraulic medium for all Magura disc and rim brakes, offering lubrication and protection against water absorption, thereby reducing the need for frequent bleeding.

FAQs
Can I use Magura Royal Blood in other brand brakes?
No, Magura Royal Blood is specifically formulated for Magura hydraulic brakes and should not be used in systems designed for DOT fluid or other types of mineral oil.
How often should I bleed my brakes with Magura Royal Blood?
Due to its non-absorbent properties, Magura Royal Blood significantly extends the time between bleeds compared to DOT fluids. Typically, bleeding is only necessary if the lever feel changes or after servicing, but check your brake manual for specific recommendations. Magura offers a 5-year leak-proof warranty when used exclusively with Royal Blood.
Is Magura Royal Blood toxic?
Magura Royal Blood is a mineral oil that is non-toxic and does not irritate human skin, unlike DOT brake fluids.
What is the shelf life of Magura Royal Blood?
When stored in its original, sealed container in a cool, dark place, Magura Royal Blood has a very long shelf life. However, once opened, it's best to use it within a year to ensure optimal performance.
Will Magura Royal Blood damage my bike's paint?
No, Magura Royal Blood is specifically designed not to damage the paint off your frame.
Where can I buy Magura Royal Blood?
Magura Royal Blood is available in 100ml, 250ml, and 1000ml bottles from authorized Magura dealers and reputable online cycling retailers.
What size bottles of Magura Royal Blood are available?
Magura Royal Blood is available in 100ml, 250ml, and 1000ml sizes.
Troubleshooting
Brake lever feels spongy or has excessive travel.
The brake system likely contains air. Perform a full brake bleed using Magura Royal Blood and the correct Magura bleeding kit, ensuring all air is expelled.
Brakes are not engaging or have very weak stopping power.
Check for significant air in the system or a fluid leak. Inspect hoses, calipers, and levers for any signs of fluid loss. If a leak is found, it must be repaired before bleeding.
Fluid appears contaminated or has changed color.
This indicates the fluid may have been compromised or is old. Perform a complete brake bleed with fresh Magura Royal Blood.
Difficulty in bleeding the brakes.
Ensure you are using the correct Magura bleeding kit and following the specific procedure for your brake model. Check that all connections are secure and that no air is being introduced unintentionally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Compatibility:
- Magura Royal Blood is exclusively designed for all Magura hydraulic disc and rim brakes.
- DO NOT use this mineral oil with any brake system that specifies DOT fluid (e.g., Shimano, SRAM, Tektro, Hayes).
Setup & Bleeding:
- Ensure you have the correct Magura bleeding kit for your specific brake model.
- Follow the detailed instructions provided in your Magura brake's service manual for bleeding procedures. This typically involves opening the bleed port, pumping the lever while introducing new fluid, and then closing the port and removing excess fluid.
- Use only Magura Royal Blood during the bleeding process.
Care:
- Store the oil in its original, sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Clean up any spills immediately with a soft cloth, as it is non-corrosive to most surfaces, but prompt cleanup is always good practice.
- Keep the container cap tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination.
