A new brake in the range

The supplied Magura Q&A introduces the Race Pro as the successor to the MT7, positioned below the heavier-duty Gustav. These are launch specifications and manufacturer claims, not independent MTBSA test findings.

Key details from the announcement

The design uses an aluminium lever body, clamp and lever, plus a one-piece forged aluminium caliper. Features listed include tool-free reach adjustment, a ball-bearing lever pivot, a 12 mm radial master piston and four 19 mm caliper pistons.

The announcement lists Easy Link hose connections, Shiftmix-IG compatibility, MDP-13 pads and compatibility with 2.0 mm rotors. Claimed weight is 310 g, with silver matte and black finishes.

Pricing and buying context

The source quotes a US launch price of $699 per set and a five-year leak-proof guarantee. These are source-market details; South African pricing, stock and applicable warranty terms have not been confirmed.

Questions worth asking

Check rotor and adapter compatibility, spare-pad supply and local service support for your exact setup. The original Q&A is linked below if you want to follow the manufacturer’s responses.
