Magura MDP 8 Brake Pads for MT7 / MT5 Brakes

The original MAGURA MDP 8 brake pads are designed to deliver powerful, controllable, and quiet braking on all 4-piston MT series calipers (MT5, MT7, MT Trail Front, MT1893). Featuring a system with 4 individual pads per caliper, these pads ensure excellent heat dissipation, high fade resistance, and optimal control during demanding braking in MTB, Enduro, DH, and eMTB riding.

Magura MDP 8 brake pad highlights

• 4-pad design: Provides optimal alignment, even wear, and top-level performance
• Metal-infused organic pads (up to 30%): The ideal combination of immediate cold bite, excellent heat resistance, and ultra-quiet operation.
• Maximum fade resistance: Prevents loss of power caused by overheating on long, steep descents or under the heavy demands of an electric mountain bike.
• Custom pad compounds: Available in Yellow (Gold/Yellow), Black (Black/Grey), and Green (Green) compounds to meet your exact riding needs.
• Complete kit for 4-piston caliper: Includes the set of 4 individual pads needed to equip a complete caliper (with mounting screws).

Pad compounds and options

• Yellow (Gold/Yellow): Maximum stopping power and aggressive bite for racing and short, intense braking.
• Black  (Black/Grey): The perfect balance for performance riders seeking excellent bite, good durability, and versatility.
• Green (Green): Prioritizes quiet operation, progressive braking, and maximum service life for a confident ride.

Maintenance and cleaning tips

• Clean rotors and calipers regularly with a cleaner specifically designed for disc brakes (avoid greasy solvents and oils).
• Replace the pads when 1 mm of pad material remains or if they are accidentally contaminated with brake fluid or chain lubricant.

Bedding-in procedure and tips

To ensure maximum friction, quiet operation, and even wear, be sure to follow the Magura bedding-in procedure.

• Bedding-in procedure: Choose a flat, clear area, bring the bike up to 25-30 km/h, then firmly and progressively apply the brake lever until you slow to a walking pace (without locking the wheel).
• Repeat: Perform this operation several times in a row to create a transfer layer of material on the rotor
• Avoid: Do not perform prolonged, hard braking until the pads are fully bedded in to the rotor.
