Everything that has made MAGURA great!

Because safe braking power shouldn’t be a matter of price, the LOUISE ELITE now brings our award-winning 4-piston performance to everyone. Because stiffness means braking power, we rely on our proven one-piece forged calipers with the LOUISE ELITE as well. Every ounce of force is uncompromisingly converted into deceleration.

A brake that you don´t notice. Until you need it!

The new LOUISE ELITE is a universal genius that operates subtly in the background. 

To ensure nothing drags even after hundreds of kilometers, we’ve optimized the seals and the machining of the caliper. Compared to the MT5, the result offers particularly reliable piston retraction.

Optimized pressure point & modulation

From the first brake application, the LOUISE provides an intuitive and comfortable braking experience. By using a larger master piston, we were able to optimize the pressure point and maintain user-friendly braking power. The result is a defined, harder pressure point that conveys security and power – without compromising on controllability.

We like to slow things down, except when it comes to quick installation! Thanks to the MAGURA EASY LINK technology, brake installation is not only easier and cleaner but also faster. Plug it in and go!

One-piece clamp with Shiftmix

Our new one-piece Carbotecture IG clamp delivers a clean look without compromising on ease of use. Despite its one-piece design, it clips onto the handlebar effortlessly—no need to remove your grip. It’s also compatible with our Shiftmix IG adapters, allowing you to mount your shifter directly.
