60 SECONDS BRAKE BLEEDING

Sometimes the inevitable happens: after long-term use or due to an imperfect initial setup, your disc brake may require bleeding. The good news is that, in most cases, bleeding directly via the brake master is sufficient—an advantage of MAGURA systems. By attaching a syringe to the brake master and carefully creating a vacuum, trapped air bubbles in the upper section of the system can be effectively removed within minutes. Only in rare cases do air pockets remain hidden deeper in the system, such as in the caliper or hose routing, which would require a full bleed. The method shown in the video works for a wide range of models, including MT series brakes (MT5, MT7, MT8 and others), as well as GUSTAV, LOUISE, and more.

A properly bled hydraulic disc brake ensures a firm bite point, consistent modulation, and maximum stopping power. Especially for demanding applications like mountain biking, enduro, or e-MTB use, keeping your MAGURA disc brake system free of air and optimally filled with mineral oil is essential. Fast bleeding is therefore an ideal quick-service solution for riders looking to restore performance without a full workshop setup—making it a practical, time-saving approach for both beginners and experienced mechanics alike.
